Sophia Nye

Sophia Nye

Sophia has been telling stories since she could talk. She loves learning almost as much as she loves writing, pursuing both her undergraduate and master’s degrees. She has studied archaeology, anthropology, and the languages and histories of a variety of cultures. Her master’s degree is in medieval history, with a focus on the British Isles. She’s been fortunate enough to participate in three archaeological excavations and surveys–one at a Native American settlement in southern Indiana, one at a Tudor estate in Essex, and one at an early medieval ringfort in County Roscommon, Ireland. After marrying her high school sweetheart, attending grad school, and moving nearly ten times in as many years, Sophia and her husband settled into a lake house in northern Indiana. When she isn’t working on her next novel, you can find her in the garden and covered in dirt. They live happily in the middle of nowhere with two little boys, two atrociously rude doggos, and one ornery cat.

Bryan Cole

Bryan Cole

Bryan Cole is a long time fan of the fantasy and science fiction genres, having grown up reading and watching everything he could find in those domains. He has had a long career in the enterprise software space, delivering countless presentations and technical sessions to customers all over the world. His love for stories about heroes, villains, magic, and dragons has never dimmed, and in 2022 published his first book is Beginning of Arrogance which is a story about what it means to be a paladin in a world where the gods are manifestly real. Bryan is a complete optimist on the outside, believing that anyone can accomplish any task they set themselves to. He'd suggest that he's a great example, since his first published book came out of nowhere to all of his friends and family! It was a strange journey that led him to writing, but decades of building business presentations gave him a surprising amount of practice in crafting words and conveying emotion (an often overlooked aspect of selling), and he finally made the time in 2022 to take the hundreds of pages of random notes, stories, and adventure ideas he had and committed them to the page.

My books feature humor, various and sundry supernatural creatures, and even a passel of troublesome Greek gods and goddesses. My tagline is: For a howling good read.

I'm a mature adult who works in the care industry with vulnerable people. This profession gave me the idea for my first book which was published 18 months ago but hasn't taken off. I've got the writing bug and really enjoy being able to put my imagination into a story.
