Author Bios

Timothy Ferguson is a librarian on the Gold Coast, in Australia. He is up to his eyeballs in wedding plans, so he doesn't have time to write his biography. He'd like to dedicate this book to his family, and to his soon-to-be in-laws, and to Linda.

Richard Love lives beyond the bounds of Mythic Europe, and has never actually been to the Normandy Tribunal. However, he would like to visit one day. Hopefully the road signs haven't changed too much since the 13th century. Richard would like to thank his partner Paula for letting him out for Tuesday night geeking. He'd also like to thank Donna, Malcolm, and Aaron for being the other Tuesday night geeks, and especially for being geeks bearing chocolate.

CJ Romer is a Dane who lives in the Stonehenge Tribunal. His last trip to the Normandy Tribunal ended in disaster after an unfortunate incident with a voracious hound, which resulted in his hospitalization. Despite that he still loves France. He would like to dedicate his efforts on this book to his parents, June and Gunnar.

Mark Shirley grew up less than 40 miles from the Normandy Tribunal, and was a regular visitor in his childhood. Now all grown up, he is a zoologist, mathematician, ecologist, programmer, or epidemiologist, depending on the day of the week. When he has time to himself, he enjoys woodcarving and teaching himself dead languages. He dedicates this book to the usual suspects — you know who you are!

Andrew P. Smith's tenuous connection to the Normandy Tribunal may be found in the murky depths of his family tree, consisting of some Norman ancestors by the name of Beaumains. The nobles fell from grace when one chap decided it would be a good idea to ceremonially impale all of his serfs. He suspects that the same insanity may inflict him — at least, he can find no other explanation for deciding to do a second Tribunal book — but don't let that put you off, he's really an okay guy!

Paul Tevis hails from lands yet undiscovered by explorers from Mythic Europe and makes his living working on contraptions not even dreamed of in the 13th century. During the writing of this book, he visited the Normandy Tribunal for the first time (and hopefully not the last). He would like to thank all of his co-authors and his editor for being so understanding with him and letting him contribute to this wonderful project.

Sheila Thomas has made several exploratory visits to the rural parts of the Normandy Tribunal, enjoying the food, wine, geology, scenery, and history, but lives near Cambridge in the UK. Her work for an engineering institute takes her to Paris for a few days every year to talk about welding. Thanks to Neil Taylor and his troupe, she played for several years in the Saxum Caribetum Ars Magica saga, set in Brittany; she is indebted to the troupe who inspired some of the ideas presented here. She dedicates this book to her sisters, Val Gregory and Christine Gray, although it probably won't aid their holiday plans.
