MEGEN NELSON

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kary English grew up in the snowy Midwest where she avoided siblings and frostbite by reading book after book in a warm corner behind a recliner chair. She blames her one and only high school detention on Douglas Adams, whose Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy made her laugh out loud while reading it behind her geometry textbook.

Today, Kary still spends most of her time with her head in the clouds and her nose in a book. To the great relief of her parents, she seems to be making a living at it. Kary lives on the West Coast with a spouse, a teenager, and a polydactyl feline overlord. She is working on a planetary fantasy series (available in late 2015) and a middle grade fantasy saga about a little girl and an orange kitten.

A student of New York Times bestsellers David Farland and Tracy Hickman, Kary aspires to make her own work detention-worthy. Her fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction, the Grantville Gazette and Galaxy’s Edge.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR

Megen Nelson was born in 1991 in Palm Bay, Florida. She has been drawing ever since she could hold a pencil, encouraged by her friends and family. When she discovered Hayao Miyazaki’s films, dragons began to crawl out of her sketchbook, joined by giant wolves and sometimes the odd space ship.

It wasn’t until high school that she discovered that art could be a profession. In 2011 she was accepted into the Computer Animation program at the Ringling College of Art and Design, but was unable to attend. Instead, she studied art at Eastern Florida State College while pursuing her Associate in Arts (AA) degree, where she was honored for her work.

She is now attending the University of Central Florida, majoring in English literature, which is her second artistic love. She will graduate with her bachelors in 2015. Currently she helps write and construct online web courses for use in colleges all around the world. She also does freelance illustration and comic work when her schedule isn’t a many-headed beast. She has written two novels and illustrated a children’s book, and hopes to combine her love of art and writing into something awesome.
