DJ Bodden
D.J. Bodden is a tech-startup COO who writes books because words are magic. He's an avid reader of science-fiction and fantasy, a gamer, a former pilot and coffee trader who's been to every continent but Antarctica. He's been woken up by gunfire, jumped out of helicopters, and climbed medium-sized hills in scorching weather; He likes to make people laugh for the wrong reasons; He tries to sell people grimoires disguised as fiction; He is scared of spiders, and only recently learned to ride a bike.
Joseph Phelps
In competitive or co-operative video games over thousands of logged hours, Joseph has always sought out unconventional gameplay and created his own fun. He’s the kind of gamer that ensures the ESRB cannot provide appropriate ratings for online games. It’s this type of unusual and amusing gameplay that he brings to the LitRPG and GameLit genres, with wildly aggressive competitive and unconventional single player dynamics at the core of his storytelling.
RK Billiau
R.K. Billiau is the best-selling author in his household. He feels strange writing about himself in third person, so just know that he has a wife, a ridiculous amount of kids, a few pets, is a geeky used-to-be-gamer who now games vicariously through reading and writing LitRPG. When he isn't drowning in children, he works for a nonprofit medical outreach bringing free healthcare to people in his local community.
