ROCHELLE HASSAN grew up reading about dragons, quests, and unlikely heroes; now she writes about them, too. She is the author of the middle grade novel THE PRINCE OF NOWHERE and young adult fantasy novel, THE BURIED AND THE BOUND. She lives in New York.

MEG LONG was born and raised in Louisiana and originally wanted to be a spy. Instead she somehow found herself teaching overseas in China and Malaysia before ending up in Colorado, where it snows entirely too much. She taught middle and high school for eight years before jumping to the tech industry as a content writer. When not reading or writing, she’s kicking things at her Muay Thai gym with her boyfriend, playing video games, or obsessing over Sailor Moon fanart.
