Jan Holmes Frost received her education in Boston, Massachusetts, and enjoyed a career in IT management with CPA firms in central California, and as Assistant Controller with a manufacturer in Oakland.
She is the author of four novels, and her techno-thriller, Without Sanction, placed as finalist at the Yosemite Writer’s Conference in 2008. Her poetry has been featured in Fresno State University’s Focus publication, and in local newspapers and periodicals. Two of her paranormal short stories have been included in a Texas highways ghost book.
While living in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, Jan formed the Valley Fiction Writer’s Workshops, which she is continuing today in Tucson, Arizona, as the Pima Writer’s Forum. As a companion to these, she published a working journal.
An active member of the Society of Southwestern Authors of Tucson; a nonprofit association of writers, she promotes their programs and scholarship support within the writing community.
Jan says writing is in her genes through her ancestral ties to Robert Frost, the famed poet, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes, judge and author. You can visit Jan at www.janholmesfrost.com
Born and raised in Northern California, Jessica Knauss has become something of a wanderer who hopes to settle down soon. She worked as a librarian and a Spanish teacher before returning to the publishing world she started out in. She has earned a BA in Creative Writing and Spanish at Wheaton College (Massachusetts), an MFA in Literary Translation (University of Iowa), an MA in Medieval Studies (University of Leeds, England), and an MA and PhD in Medieval Spanish Literature (Brown University).
Jessica has published nonfiction, fiction, and poetry in many online and print journals. Her literary fiction Tree/House, about a woman’s awakening through sleeping in trees, is available at Amazon. She is working on more stories and a historical novel set in medieval Spain. Get updates on her writing at her blog: jessicaknauss.blogspot.com
Megan is in charge of book production; that is, she puts together the pre-publication bookblocks, preps the files for e.book conversion, and designs the covers for all the above.
A native of Tucson, she graduated from Kino School in 2004, and currently attends Pima Community College.
She is engaged to Terry Colligan.

Michael James
Chief Operations Officer
James Boschert grew up in the then colony of Malaya in the early fifties. He learned first hand about terrorism while there as the Communist insurgency was in full swing. His school was burnt down and the family while traveling, narrowly survived an ambush, saved by a Gurkha patrol, which drove off the insurgents.
He went on to join the British army serving in remote places like Borneo and Oman. Later he spent five years in Iran before the revolution, where he played polo with the Iranian Army and developed a passion for the remote Assassin castles found in the high mountains to the north.
Escaping Iran during the revolution, he went on to become an engineer and now lives in Arizona on a small ranch with his family and animals.
