Author Biographies
Richard Love is quite pleased that he managed to write a part of this book while staying in Rome in a monastery that Pope Gregory the Great founded in the sixth century. He would like to dedicate this book to his partner Paula, who found our accommodation, and who thinks Richard is a sad person for bringing his laptop on holiday.
Christian Jensen Romer is a Christian by both name and creed, and is Devoted to Saint Edmund, rather ironically, as his beloved father is a pagan Dane of the type who slew that glorious King and Martyr. He has studied theology for many years, and was an outspoken voice on Richard Dawkins' forum, where he found few hobgoblins or foul fiends, but many good friends. He dedicates his work on this book to all the wonderful, humane, loving, and moral atheist and agnostic folks there, and to Becky Smith for having faith in him when he doubted.
Sheila Thomas is old enough to remember when Latin was used in church most of the time. She has had close encounters over the years with nuns, monks, friars, priests, canons, and bishops but has yet to meet a cardinal or pope. She was brought up to understand and enjoy visits to a wide range of ecclesiastical buildings, old and modern, but prefers the ones that are relevant to the Ars Magica period. She dedicates her work in this book to her late father, John R. de Boer.
Alexander White has an Honors degree in medieval and classical history and a Master of Public Policy and Management from the University of Melbourne. In between occasionally publishing Sub Rosa (an Ars Magica fanmagazine), Alex works as the campaigns coordinator for the National Tertiary Education Union in Melbourne, Australia.
