Seanan McGuire is the author of more than 40 novel-length works, the first of which was published in 2009. She has received many of the science fiction and fantasy community's highest honors, including the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, the Pegasus Award, the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award. Her work under both her own name and the name "Mira Grant" has been translated around the world. Seanan lives in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by swamps and forests and very tall mountains; she doesn't sleep very much. When not writing Seanan attends far too many conventions to be really good for her, dotes upon her very large, very fluffy cats and watches a lot of horror movies.

Canadian artist Takeshi Miyazawa developed his style from his lifelong love of anime and manga. His unique artistry first flavored projects including Sidekicks, Runaways and Amazing Fantasy, leading to his crowning achievement at Marvel: Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane in collaboration with writer Sean McKeever. Other projects include a return engagement with Runaways and Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers.
