David Walton lives in the Philadelphia suburbs in a house safely outside the crater radius. By day, he writes Top Secret software for a large defense contractor, and by night he juggles five children, none of whom were around to see the end of the twentieth century. In the wee hours in between, he makes digital copies of his brain to do his writing for him while he sleeps. His wife reads all of his fiction and improves it immeasurably. His children can't read, but they think their Daddy is pretty great anyway.
David's short fiction has appeared in many magazines and anthologies, most notably Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Futurismic, and the Meadowhawk Press anthology Touched by Wonder. A complete list of his fiction can be found at his website, www.davidwaltonfiction.com .

 Jackie Gamber grew up in Michigan, communing with trees when she wasn't writing angsty teen poetry. A veteran of the USAF, she is now a gardener, a homeschooling mom, and an avid believer in leaving a green planet for her grandchildren.
Jackie is known for her tireless efforts in the pursuit of
truth and knowledge as an active member of HADS (Humans Against Dragon
Stereotypes). She first became sensitive to
the effects of media and its misguided portrayal of dragons during the writing
of her fantasy novel, Redheart. Of course there are those dragons that
fall prey to a darker nature, with the occasional stealing of a cow or razing
of a village, but should those violent few represent all dragonkind? She realized she could use her gift to be the
voice for dragons everywhere, allowing humans to see that we have more in
common with these misunderstood creatures than we realize. The human condition applies as much to them
as it does us.
Jackie resides in Tennessee with her husband and two teens. She still enjoys trees and is working on the next book in the Leland Dragon Series.
