Stephen Lawson lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, a rabbit, and a pair of bee colonies.
Stephen spent five years on active duty with the Navy after high school and deployed three times. His carrier battle group deployed on September 19, 2001 as part of the immediate response to 9/11, which eventually became Operation Enduring Freedom.
He has a business administration degree from Asbury University, and is currently pursuing an MBA.
He divides his time between church, writing, education, and a career as an officer in the Kentucky Army National Guard.
Stephen’s first publications were in Toasted Cheese Literary Journal’s Dead of Winter writing contest. He also won first place in On The Premises’ 25th contest with his story “Gifted.”
He considers his biggest influences to be Michael Crichton, C. S. Lewis, Robert Heinlein, and team-writers Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Jason (Jihoo) Park was born in 1998, in Seoul, South Korea. From there he went on to study abroad in Canada for over six years.
Ever since he was a child, Jason was curious about everything. He just had to ask what every single thing was, how it worked, and if he could have it. He has been enjoying and practicing many forms of art from a very young age. Influenced and supported by his family, Jason eventually decided what he was going to pursue. It happened one summer day, when Jason was watching a series of inspiring movies. It occurred to him that being part of the production of movies and games could be his future. It was something that he had always wanted, yet never known was possible.
Now after two years of preparation and a lot of support, Jason will move forward by vigorously studying entertainment design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
