Chantal Beaulne was born in Calgary, Alberta at a very young age. She grew up immersed in high quantities of speculative fiction in the form of books, ghost stories, films, and NFB specials. This caused irreversible damage to her reality perceptors, making it impossible to achieve her dream of becoming a professional lint collection appraiser or the Chairwoman of the Domestic Appliances Appreciation Society. Instead, she settled for becoming an animator, following that passion to Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. In the few moments not dedicated to pursuing animation, she splits her time between the pen and the sword as a fencer and short story author.

Anatoly Belilovsky is a Russian-American author and translator of speculative fiction. He was born in a city that went through six or seven owners in the last century, all of whom used it to do a lot more than drive to church on Sundays; he is old enough to remember tanks rolling through it on their way to Czechoslovakia in 1968. After being traded to the US for a shipload of grain and a defector to be named later (see Wikipedia, Jackson-Vanik amendment), he learned English from Star Trek reruns and went on to become a paediatrician in an area of New York where English is only the fourth most commonly used language. His original work appeared or will appear in the Unidentified Funny Objects anthology, Ideomancer, Nature Futures, Stupefying Stories, Immersion Book of Steampunk, Daily SF, Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk, and Genius Loci anthology, and has been podcast by Cast of Wonders, Tales of Old, and Toasted Cake; his translations from Russian have sold to F&SF, Year’s Best SF #32 (edited by Gardner Dozois,) Grimdark, and Kasma.
