Kelsey Carlee is from the Seattle area and enjoys creating art in her spare time. She has been writing since she was a kid, with her first published work at 14 years old. Hoping to help others, she bravely and unapologetically writes about the trauma she has experienced.
As a software engineer by day, and a supervillain by night, Boydell finds it a challenge to spend enough time writing to let free the stories plaguing his soul. But as a lover of all things Speculative Fiction, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, he is dedicated to make the necessary sacrifices. Outside of writing, Boydell loves spending time with his family, playing games, and making Star Wars costumes and wearing them in public. Much better than going out in public in normal clothes
H.S. Gilchrist’s ambitions of becoming a real-life Indiana Jones (degree in Anthropology) seeded her love for world cultures and history but conjured no realistic job prospects. So, she set aside the thrill of chasing ancient curses for the rigors of a twenty-year career in information technology, where she’s worked as both a technician (“I fix broken stuff”) and a data analyst (“I save management a lot of work”).
Outside of work, she grooms her daughter into becoming a fellow nerd (it’s sort of working) and, whenever a quiet moment takes her, she writes the adventures she wishes she could live.
By the age of eight, Sandra Montanino lived in three different countries. These rich exposures immersed her into a wealth of cultures, languages, viewpoints, and provincial superstitions. Most fascinating and further igniting her imagination was her family’s tradition of sharing their own experiences and stories.
Sandra developed a true love of writing. Sadly, since all the old storytellers passed away, she realized she had an obligation to preserve their wisdom and treasures for her family’s future generation, but the book grew much bigger than she expected and it pleases her to share these gripping, funny, sad, and tender stories with everyone in The Weight of Salt wrapped in the ribbon of Sandra’s imagination.
