Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Mom of 3 who loves sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and k- & c-dramas. When not wrangling children she can be found hiding in a corner with a mug of tea and her laptop. Typing furiously and laughing at her own jokes.
Samuel anointed himself the 21st Century Absurdist. The fact his writings do not match the traditional absurdist definition matters not to him, for he insists the term “traditional absurdist” is an oxymoron.
One of the leaders of the Writing Journey (writingjourney.org)
I'm an avid reader of fantasy and mystery stories. When I'm not working, I'm probably listening to an audiobook or podcast, walking my dog, crocheting plushies, watching WAY too many Youtube shorts, and occasionally even writing.
