Allan Gilbreath denies that he was raised by wolves, but still enjoys quiet moonlit evenings. He is an accomplished skeptic, cook, gardener, computer geek, martial artist, and avid student of arcane knowledge. Allan is also a nationally recognized and award-winning author, publisher, speaker, and instructor.

He has appeared on television, stage, radio, web/podcast, and tours the country in live appearances. He enjoys serving on convention panels and can cover a wide range of topics from the serious to the outrageous. In his adult vampire novels, Galen and Dark Chances, he links sensual fantasy with danger and predation to excellent effect. His exceptional use of plot tension between the various characters sets a wonderful stage for the little details that bring it all to life. Allan’s Jack Lago supernatural mysteries are known for their attention to detail and suspense. His short stories have appeared in numerous anthologies and his collection, Allan Gilbreath: A Short Story Collection.

Joshua Daniel Mason is a film maker from Tennessee and the owner and founder of Mason Studios. He is also the Marketing Director for the Kickin’ Lawyer, producer of the Law Talk Podcast, and a co-founder of Covington Comic Con. He has directed several fan films, original indie films, music videos, and commercials but is most well known for directing “Croft: Legend of the Tomb Raider” which is one of the top ranked Tomb Raider fan films in the world. Josh sets himself apart from other independent film makers by breaking away from the typical “artsy coffee house” type of films many independent directors make and has chosen to take more of a “Michael Bay” approach to his films. He has been quoted more than once saying that he “creates cinematic adventures filled with explosions”.
