Steam Crow: Daniel M. Davis is the unique mind behind Steam Crow, "a Phoenix, Arizona company that creates quirky, imaginative characters and strange stories for people with a monster imagination."

As a professor at the University of Arizona he specialized in personality theory and measurement. His published articles and books cover such topics as the evolution of consciousness, the optimal personality, masculinity/femininity, child personality, patterns of orientation among psychologists, trends in psychological theory, Jungian theory, and archetypal symbolism in myths, tales, and dreams. His most recent book is Masculine, Feminine, and Fully Human: Development Paths Through the Adult Years.

Linda West: Linda West is the author of Beyond the Rice Paddies, her highly personal memoir of growing up in Vietnam at the dawn of war. Net proceeds from all book sales are donated to Vietnam Veterans of America and other organizations supporting U.S. veterans and soldiers.

Dr. Hermon Price: Retired physician and WWII veteran Dr. Hermon Price is the author of two illustrated memoirs, There's Something Funny About That and Better Than Kinky, Unless My Memory Fails Me... Through his time as an infrantryman during WWII, his year-long recovery from war wounds in military hospitals, and his med school adventures, Price's trademark humor and wit shines through.
