Author Bios

Timothy Ferguson works as a librarian on the Gold Coast. His family are theoretically descended from Fergus Mac Erc, first King of Scots, and one of the Kings Olaf of Sweden and some Chinese guys who may have been priests or worked in a temple or something. He lives with his wife and some cats, who have not disclosed their genealogy.

Andrew Gronosky's family claims descent from Polish nobility, though it has somehow become separated from its ancestral lands and titles. As a younger son, Andrew would probably have been destined for the cloister in medieval times, so he and his wife are just as glad some traditions have died out. Andrew earns a livelihood through the mystic art of computer programming. He holds a very modest castle in Cambridge (Massachussets), where he lives and plays Ars Magica with his wife and two magical cats.

Chris Jensen-Romer is a peasant who lives in a hovel in rainy England surrounded by lovely mud. His is a true riches to rags story; child of a high-born father and a humble daughter of the soil, CJ has gone from a country estate to a council estate to his current status as one of the undeserving poor. He would like to dedicate his part of book to the memories of his faithful hound Wogan and the noble beasties Crowley & Marmalade.

Mark Lawford lives in Eastbourne on England's south coast. He splits his free time, in somewhat equal measure, between writing for Ars Magica and wondering why he isn't down the gym more often. Despite the best efforts of a volatile financial market he remains an IT manager for well-known bank.
