Author Biographies
Christian Rosenkjaer Andersen is an Engineer living in Denmark. Developed Covenants is the fifth Ars Magica book he contributed to, and by far the largest.
As the project was still in the proposal staged he convinced his troupe to set their new saga in Sauerland for the vibrant mundane environment and Hermetic politics. The covenant in the saga only had few similarities with the one in this book. But a lot of the characters the troupe developed were eerily close to what had already been sketchily written for Collem Leonis. Christian thanks his troupe for unwittingly providing inspiration for many small yet amusing and impactful details.
Mark Lawford lives and works in Eastbourne on England's sunny south coast. When not building covenants new and old he enjoys a wildly nebulous technology role in a leading international bank. He is also currently co-editor of Sub Rosa, the Ars Magic fan magazine, an honour he shares with Ben McFarland, to whom Mark's work on this book is very respectfully dedicated.
Richard Love interprets prophetic visions about the Order of Hermes from New Zealand, where he lives with his partner Paula. She makes more immediate prophecies about domestic chores (in the form of a list stuck to the fridge). Richard hopes that everyone's prophecies of good things come to pass, and those of bad things are cleverly avoided.
Christian "CJ" Jensen Romer is a romantic fellow, and Jardin was inspired by his desire to exemplify themes he wrote about in Faith & Flame. He would like to thank Phil Jenkins, Paul Wheeldon and Jonathan Elcock for playtesting Jardin and bring it to life, and Tom Nowell for his support. Jardin is dedicated to my cats, Hansine, Cuddles, and Marmalade, and to all the women he would have ardently pursued had he not been working on this book!
