JESSICA MALCOLM lives north of Atlanta in Acworth, Georgia with her husband, two sons, and a menagerie of fur babies--including three kitties, an ever-changing number of strays and, finally, the neighbor's cat who wanders in to spend the night.

Jessica works full-time as a domestic engineer.  Some of her duties include that of teacher, maid, nurse, editor, general handyman and chauffeur.  During her extremely rare down times, she enjoys writing poetry, children's stories, fiction and reviews.  Jessica is an avid reader and is even guilty of trying to read the final Harry Potter book whilst changing her baby's diaper.  Favorite genres include horror, suspense/thriller, fantasy, graphic novels, poetry, new age/occult, and, of course, parenting guides and children's books.

WENDALL SEXTON lives in Great Bend Kansas .  While trying to make a living through his part-time community college job, he fosters his desire to write through non-fiction (he has written for both the college, as well as the town, newspaper) and fiction (a plethora of sketches, short stories, and a couple novels) – all without, as of yet, attaining that elusive ‘published author’ title.  When not pursuing new writing projects, he is either conversing with fellow artistic friends, organizing his burgeoning collection of books, CDs, and movies, or engaging a few of his favorite authors – both classic (Tolkien, Lewis, or Dickens) and brand new (Rick Warren, Philip Yancey, and even Lemony Snicket – whose books, he admits, he has yet to read; but from the film on which the books were based, found himself very impressed with the story-telling technique).  Strong characters, with a good story, purveying the qualities of a worthwhile theme – those are what he hopes for with every book given him to read.
