About the Author

JOSHUA ALLEN MERCIER is the Founder and Executive Editor of The Bearded Scribe Press, an independent publishing house dedicated to the broad genre of speculative fiction. He is a writer, a self-confessed linguaphile and philologist, a proud bibliophile, a coffee addict, and an unrepentant grammar geek. He is also a professional mixologist (a darn good one, thank you very much!) with over fourteen years of cocktail-slinging experience. He currently has two series in progress, but that's all the information he's sharing about the projects at the moment. When he is not working, editing, or writing, he enjoys singing, cooking, and spending time with his family. Joshua lives in the Atlanta area with his partner, Jeremiah, and their two Chihuahuas, Bailey and Chanel.
