Jez Cajiao
Jez Cajiao was born a regular human, but over many years of trials and tribulations, he managed to survive to become...an older, uglier and larger regular human! Jez is the author of the bestselling UnderVerse series, and Age of Stone, started his love of writing in 2018, when his interest in the LitRPG genre sparked his creativity.
Aleron Kong
Dr. Aleron Kong, doctor of Internal Medicine, is the author of the internationally best-selling series The Land, which has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide, and was voted Audible's Customer Favorite of the Year. Aleron is also on the Amazon top 100 Authors list. With help from his readers, Aleron has continued to raise funds for charities around the world, exceeding $125,000 over the past several years!
CM Carney
After reading an editorial claiming Dungeons and Dragons drove kids to worship dark forces in the sewers, C.M. Carney’s mother immediately bought the game for him. He was ten, and strangely he never ventured into the sewers, mostly because he finds sewers wet, stinky, and creepy. But he did become obsessed with reading, writing, and playing all things fantasy and science fiction.
After spending nearly two decades working as a creative executive for an animation and SFX studio, C.M. Carney decided to pursue his lifelong dream of creating his own universe(s).
