About the authors

Chris Panatier lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, daughter, and a fluctuating herd of animals resembling dogs (one is almost certainly a goat). He writes poetry, short stories, and novels, and also illustrates book covers and metal albums.

Ryan Leslie is the author of Colossus and The Between, both from Parliament House Press. By day he oversees research for a large health system, where making stuff up is generally frowned upon. His creative outlet has always been writing fiction. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, children’s author Lindsay Leslie, and their two sons.
