Author Bios

Matt Ryan is a romantic and a dreamer, who sometimes wishes that life was as simple as riding across the meadow and stealing his neighbors' cattle. He enjoys reading medieval Irish history, gardening with his girlfriend, and playing soccer with his son. He would like to thank Mark for setting a high standard for this book, and David for maintaining and managing it. He would also like to thank John and Michelle Nephew for allowing him to participate in the Ars Magica community.

Mark Shirley is a philosopher who dabbles in physick (epidemiology) and astrology (predictive modeling) in Newcastle upon Tyne. He would like to dedicate this book to the academics and experimental philosophers who cultivated his inquiring mind down channels through which he could make a living, albeit meager. Thanks also go to his co-author Matt for a thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating experience in composing this book.
