關於作者
Tao Wong is an avid fantasy and sci-fi reader who spends his time working and writing in the North of Canada. He’s spent way too many years doing martial arts of many forms and having broken himself too often, now spends his time writing about fantasy worlds.
Craig Hamilton spends most of his day as a technical sales engineer, translating specifications and talking about IT infrastructure. While writing has been taking up most of his free time lately, Craig also appreciates playing tabletop RPGs or board games with friends. When his inner introvert demands a break from polite company, Craig can be found sprawled on a couch with a book or e-reader.
I've been a welder, a bridgeman, a bouncer, a unix network administrator, an early and folk music specialist, a warehouse monkey, and a professional teacher of historical swordplay.
I pretty much grew up in movie theatres, in small towns throughout BC and Alberta. My dad was a projectionist, so we got to see all the movies for free...and I saw all of them. When I wasn't in a theatre, I was in a library, or curled up at home with a book. Stories are my life. This didn't translate to the best grades in school. Nothing in class could really keep my attention as well as my imagination. This left me a bit adrift after high school, so I've wound up working many different kinds of jobs. I learned to enjoy the stories of the people around me almost as much as the novels and movies I kept consuming.
I currently live in Vancouver, BC with my spouse and two constant cats.
E.C. Godhand is a LitRPG author by profession and nurse by trade. She runs a community garden and fosters orphaned kittens. She’s always mained healer, whether in video games or real life, and loves game design, wordplay, and psychology.
All proceeds from book sales will go directly to supporting her habit of living so she can keep writing for you. She’s been rumored to eat up to three times a day even. At the very least, the kittens need to be fed.
Don't buy the books for her though. Do it for fun LitRPG stories about drunken priests, weird dream worlds, and characters' assured descent into madness. Do it for the kittens.
D.J. Rezlaw is a rocket engineer building rocket engines in Rocket City. He's also a long-time avid reader who has been devouring progression fantasy books since he first discovered them, half a decade ago. When he isn't building rockets, reading, or writing, he's spending time with his wife, four kids, two cats, one dog, and a varying number of rabbits and chickens.
Mike is a lifelong reader of fantasy/science fiction and a sporadic writer of sports articles, strategies for adopting advanced analytics, and compelling work emails.
Originally from Calgary, Mike is a former Wall Street trader and ice hockey goaltender who played once for Canada and many times for New Zealand. He now heads up data and artificial intelligence for Air New Zealand lives in Auckland with his wife and 3 kids.
Jason J. Willis is a husband, father, geek, equalist, and lover of art. Gamelit, LitRPG and progression/cultivation fiction, especially audiobooks, are his addiction of choice. Due to a beloved day job that allows him to listen to anything he wants during his entire work shift, Jason spends more than full time consuming the above, plus podcasts, music, and the Great Courses series.
InkWitch is a fan of litRPG and the System Apocalypse. After reading (and loving) Town Under, she had to contribute a slice of New Zealand to the universe. She likes playing with non-traditional characters in her own litRPG stories. You can read more from her on Royal Road.
Chelsea developed a love of life early. As an army brat, she moved and met new people every few years, which allowed her the opportunity to see and experience a great deal. Perhaps it was all that adventure in her blood or perhaps she is simply contrary, but she has endeavored not to use her accounting degree. Instead, she has focused on her family and earned a living using skills other than math.
A very new author, who thought that he should publish stories so others could see inside his head and wonder where did the normal side of his family go wrong with him.
Nick Steele is the pseudonym of an author and ex-Lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy Reserves. He lives with his long suffering wife and their young daughter in Brisbane, Australia, not too far from Garden City, the real life location of the fortified shopping centre in Town Under.
The very first litRPG Nick ever read was about a guy called John Lee in Kluane National Park. It is an absolute honor and thrill to now contribute to that ever-expanding universe.
Andrew worked in finance for over a decade, then switched over to litigation support for another decade. He refused to sell his soul and they fired him. However, working with the damned drove him insane. He has developed a pathological hatred of social media, and quite frankly should not be allowed on the street without at least two beautiful women to distract him at all times. He lives in New York City and is slowly turning himself into a cyborg version of Frankenstein's Monster. (Andrew insists that the doctor was the real monster and Victor Frankenstein Jr. was merely the victim of child abuse - end flesh golem discrimination now!)
