ABOUT ME ANTOINE BANDELE IS AN AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR IN AFRICAN LITERATURE. He lives in Los Angeles, CA with his girlfriend, where he produces work on YouTube for his own channel and others, such as JustKiddingFilms, Fanalysis, and more. During the summer he is a camp counselor. Whenever he has the time he’s writing his debut series: Tales from Esowon. SINCE 1990 ... I've been a creative kid, whether writing stories, drawing comics, or directing home movies. I remember the first time I thought I was a "published" author. My father took my brother and I to an office supply store, where we got our books (which were made out of wide-ruled notebook paper) laminated and copied. It felt so legit. In elementary school, I kept filling out more notebooks with my stories. I was even brave enough to share those stories with friends during recess. The underside of the playground slide became my own library, but the only inventory was my books. They were stories about kung fu fighting teenagers who were stuck in their own dreams (still might develop that one day), or fan fiction covering my favorite franchises. Growing up in Los Angeles, only a few miles from Hollywood, I started flirting with the film industry. This became my focus throughout my young adult years. I majored in Multimedia at California State University Northridge (though my diploma is still incomplete). That eventually got me on YouTube which (for most filmmakers in those early days) was the best place to archive and share your work. YouTube has turned into a different beast today, but I still seek out that sense of community it had among like-minded individuals. If there is one thing that encompasses my life so far, one theme, it would be the pursuit of art. Whether I'm writing, drawing, editing or otherwise (though I really wish I had a talent for music), I've always been drawn to crafting art. That's all I'm really about when it comes right down to the bare bones, everything stripped away. I'm fueled by creating make-believe, letting my imagination take me to wonderful worlds filled with characters who speak to my inner muse. So join me here on my small corner of the internet (a bit of an upgrade to the underside of a playground). I want to share my creativity with you.

For as long as Tennessee native Brittany Hester can remember, she has always been enchanted by nature, magic, and powerful stories. Hester’s love of storytelling and active imagination would often lead her to explore the galaxy as the other Earth Sailor Scout, join the rebel forces in her own Gundam, lend her sword and bow to the fight for Middle-earth, use her wild magic for the betterment of Tortall, or simply exploring the beautiful fantasy landscapes that enchanted her. Her only wish was that there were more characters that looked like her in the books she loved reading. ​ Determined to blaze a path for diverse, strong, and authentic characters of color to enter the forefront of popular fantasy and science fiction in every medium, Hester put her imagination to work and began writing. Now, she hopes to inspire the next generation of readers, writers, and creative thinkers by creating a window for experiencers to try and answer life’s questions for themselves. In every story, Hester aims to remind people that there is light and goodness in the world, we are never as truly alone as we feel, and that through the power of narrative, we can find hope, connection, and acceptance. When not writing, you can find Hester adventuring with her toddler tornados, enjoying her favorite foods, or being very nerdy with her husband.
