Biography

Frog was born at a very young age in a small town in Eastern Washington, where he still managed to grow up nerdy despite all social pressure to the contrary. Oh, sure; he bucked hay and rode truck with the good ol' boys, but he also played a fair amount of D&D when he could. An Eagle Scout and a jazz saxophone amateur, Frog came out of his childhood a little twisted, just perfect for an artist. At Eastern Washington University, whilst wearing a fedora and a trench coat and carrying a cane, he met Esther, fell in love, and graduated with a couple of worthless degrees. Frog then went on to the grand University of Idaho Law School, wherein he passed with honors. Frog now practices in Northeast Washington, and writes from his home in Spokane. He has hand-constructed a Roman onager, which sits in his garage. Esther Jones grew up in western Washington, as the middle child in a family of five. During high school she desperately wanted to become a poet, but upon entering college, found that it was incredibly difficult to make a living as one. She switched her major from Creative Writing to Technical writing, and learned to write grants and business proposals instead. While her degree pays the bills, her love of writing is still with creating new worlds, characters and images.
