As an editor and author, Ben invites readers to experience the world that is, as it is.
Thomas Roof
Thomas has always been intrigued by myths and legends, preferring to view history through a symbolic lens. In his search for an American Logres – a legendary kingdom existing in America’s future – he reads, writes, and tills the soil of his own backyard Eden, eagerly awaiting the appearance of an Arthurian King.
A Georgia-based engineer, farmer, husband, and father of three, Blake’s childhood was filled with fables and fairytales that kindled a love for fantastical realms.

Trapped in the urban hellscape of Las Vegas, NV, Tyler spends his days thinking about what went wrong. While he is pretty sure the world didn’t end in 1969, he’s at least open to the idea that whatever knocked over the Tower of Babel won’t hesitate to smack our space-faring society back into the stone age. His wife and children are very concerned.
