I have been playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games since my adolescence, and have been writing for just as long. I have built this company from publishing my own D&D Campaign to having over 10 authors and creators on board. I want to continue serving minorities and diverse creators by providing them with a platform.

If I Die Before I Wake by Aydan Sattler
If I Die Before I Wake is what happens when Alice in Wonderland collides with The Priory of the Orange Tree.We’ve all had a dream so vivid it felt real. What if it was? Every time we sleep, our consciousness drifts into another reality. When we wake, we snap back into our bodies and continue on as if nothing happened.But one day, Mike doesn’t wake up.Now it’s up to his best friend, Nika, to cross into the dream dimension and find him. The deeper she goes, the stranger (and more dangerous) the dream world becomes. Soon, Nika discovers that more than Mike's life is at stake. If she fails, the world she knows falls with her.

Charlie Kelly
Author
Unlike other people central to the development of the mountain bike, Charlie Kelly has not spent his entire working life in the bike industry. But in the early days of the sport pretty much everyone who rode a mountain bike either knew Charlie personally or knew of him. Charlie was one of the main instigators of the sport.In 1976 Charlie organized the downhill time trial called Repack – the crucible of mountain biking. From towns all around the base of Mount Tamalpais, we rode to Repack to compete and share ideas, spurring the bike’s evolution. In 1979, Charlie and his buddy Gary Fisher founded MountainBikes, launching the industry. The following year, Charlie created Fat Tire Flyer, mountain biking’s first magazine and, for several years, the voice of the movement.

And if you find yourself afraid to make mistakes, remember this: there is no wrong way to create art.”

Daitarih Osborn
"I am an author, artist, and biologist. My writing combines all three with in-depth ecological worldbuilding, creature design, and informative, though fantastical, writing.""I started my series after falling in love with fantasy creatures, mostly dragons, and wanting to take it further with well developed food webs, interesting evolution, and ecosystems that feel complete and believable but still magical. I hope readers can find realistic and interesting fantasy ecology and evolution in my works that will satisfy both the scientist and the dreamer."-Daitarih
