George Raymond Richard Martin, né en 1948, est un écrivain américain de science-fiction et de fantasy, ainsi qu’un scénariste et un producteur. Dans les années 1980, il a travaillé pour la télévision comme scénariste pour plusieurs séries dont certaines de science-fiction.

Certains tomes de la série ont été récompensés par le prestigieux prix Locus du meilleur roman de fantasy. Il est l’auteur d’un grand nombre de nouvelles, dont certaines se déroulent dans le même univers que sa saga (Le Chevalier errant, L’Épée lige), ainsi que de romans totalement indépendants comme Riverdream ou encore Armageddon Rag. George R. R. Martin a enfin assuré le rôle de directeur de publication de plusieurs anthologies, dont récemment celle consacrée à Jack Vance, Chansons de la Terre mourante, publiée en France en trois volumes.

Ian Creasey

Ian Creasey lives in Yorkshire, England. He began writing when rock and roll stardom failed to return his calls. His first story was published in 1999, and since then he has sold numerous stories to various magazines and anthologies. His spare time interests include hiking, gardening, and environmental conservation work... anything to get him outdoors and away from the computer screen.

His books "Maps of the Edge" (2011) and "Escape Routes from Earth" (2015) are collections of science fiction stories originally published in well-known SF magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction and Daily Science Fiction.

James Aquilone

James Aquilone was raised on Saturday morning cartoons, comic books, sitcoms, and Cap'n Crunch. Amid the Cold War, he dreamed of being a jet fighter pilot but decided against the military life after realizing it would require him to wake up early. He had further illusions of being a stand-up comedian, until a traumatic experience on stage forced him to seek a college education. Brief stints as an alternative rock singer/guitarist and child model also proved unsuccessful. Today he battles a severe Tetris addiction while trying to write in the speculative fiction game. Demons, robots, dragons, superheroes...that sort of thing.

His short fiction has been published in such places as Nature's Futures, "The Best of Galaxy's Edge 2013-2014," "Unidentified Funny Objects 4," and Weird Tales Magazine. His first novel should be out soon. Suffice it to say, things are going much better than his modeling career.

He lives in Staten Island, New York, but don't hold that against him.
