Shanna Germain

Shanna Germain has geekery in her genes, thanks to some form of alien pod-splicing that happened when she was a baby. An award-winning writer and editor, with more than 350 published stories, novellas, novels and essays under her leather collar, she’s a lover of all things kinky and geeky. Favorite pastimes include gaming, writing sex toy reviews, and perfecting her secret superpower of falling up stairs.

Janine Ashbless

Janine Ashbless is a multi-published British author of fantasy-themed erotica. She started playing Dungeons & Dragons when she was thirteen years old, in the chemistry lab during school lunchbreaks, back in the day when the Monster Manual had that terrible pastel-blue cover. That was it – the start of the slippery slope. From there it was Call of Cthulhu and, yes, dressing up and doing LARP. She still indulges in both, just more slowly these days and with more tea breaks.
