Author Bios

Chris Jensen-Romer knows little Latin, and less Greek. That fact has not stopped him being fascinated by the byzantine politics of the Byzantine Empire. However he'd like to thank Panagiotes Koutelidakes and his friends for their help with language issues, and making the book better, and everyone who attended Grand Tribunal 2008 (especially David Chart and my fellow authors.)

Matt Ryan lives in Ithaca, the New York State city not the island. He had the great pleasure of meeting his fellow authors and line editor in Cheltenham, and would like to thank The Cotswold Inn for their hospitality. He would also like to thank Andrew, CJ, David, and Mark for making this monstrously huge undertaking enjoyable.

Mark Shirley is an ecologist and modeler living in Newcastle; which couldn't be more different from the sunny shores of Greece. Nevertheless, working on this book has brightened up the gloomy Northern weather, and given him a new-found appreciation for Aristophanes.

Andrew P. Smith is a research scientist living in Constance, Germany. He made his first trip to Greece in 2007 where he set foot on the island of Delos as an unsuspecting tourist, little knowing that it would become the site of the Tribunal gathering and that, six months later, he would be drafted into working on this book. He would like to thank his fellow authors, the line editor, and the playtesters for their productive collaboration and input.
