Authors

Maggie Page
Maggie Page
Author · 1 book

Maggie Page lives in Texas with family, including her incorrigibly clumsy mom with a green thumb and two silly dogs. Her most recent publications include a poem, “Just A Body”, in the Texas Bards Poetry Anthology, and a short story, “Sincerely and Enigmatically Yours”, in the Duck Prints Press anthology He Bears the Cape of Stars. Aside from writing, Maggie enjoys music, traveling, dabbling in arts & crafts, and torturing her loved ones with her ruthless board game victories. She will also painstakingly analyze various forms of media for pleasure, spite, and profit (if only someone would hire her to do it). Mentioning Sherlock Holmes, Merlin, Castiel, or the word t'hy'la in her presence may result in an impromptu dissertation. Upcoming work: “Fair Winds and Fortune” will appear in Scholarly Pursuits from Duck Prints Press.

Lee Pini
Author · 3 books
Lee Pini is a queer author who has been writing since they could pick up a pencil. They have lived in England, Northern Ireland, and Florida, and currently live in their home state of Minnesota with their wife and cat. Lee studied archaeology at the graduate level but currently uses their degree primarily to chuckle knowingly at classics memes. When they aren’t at their day job or writing, they’re reading vociferously, listening to music, enjoying nature, or nerding out. Their dream is for someone to one day write fanfiction about their characters.
