Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical romances and adventures since she was too young to even write of such stories. Her collection of YA, MG, and children's fantasy and Christian fantasy books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books which can all be read separately, but which weave together to create a single amazing fantasy.
One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to be able to create grand fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. She believes strongly in including diversity in her books; right now her focus is includes racial diversity and people with mental and physical disabilities. Twenty-five percent of all Schulze's royalties are donated to ALFA, a local charity that provides funding and volunteers for Trinity Services in Mascoutah, IL; Trinity provides a day program and residential services for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Her most recent projects include the release of her latest kids' book, The Puzzle of the Two-Headed Dragon, with St. Louis artist Karen Swartz, and the professional re-editing and remastering of two YA fantasy series, The Gailean Quartet and The Hero Chronicles, the latter of which will be released under its new name, A Shadow Beyond Time. For this series, she has also brought an amazing new co-author onto her team, Kira Lerner, whom she has used many a time as her editor for other works. Schulze loves hearing from her readers! Feel free to connect with her on Facebook and Goodreads, or shoot her some fanmail at [email protected]

Belleville, IL I was born in Belgium and moved to Belleville, Illinois in 2000. I started taking playful painting classes in 2012 and soon decided it was time to become more serious with art. My paintings are light and dark, shadow, atmosphere and mood. I like the work of the old masters and David Mensing, Tom Nicholas and many others. I'm constantly studying and taking additional art lessons and my instructor is pushing me to the next level -- to adopt a more professional approach to my painting. I have a lot to learn and it's not always easy, but I love it!  Kim Richard Depigian
Belleville, IL Kim creates abstracts in acrylic and oil. He livies in Belleville, IL and studied music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and studied art at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts. His work is an expression of himself. Some of his work is very intuitive and can be spontaneous which sometimes leads to complicated and abstract pieces. He sometimes combines his music and art backgrounds by incorporating a short musical composition into his abstract work through painting the "theory" he feels from the composition. While some of his paintings are accomplished with traditional methods, his abstract style and striking results are anything but traditional. Kim also works with block art by painting individual block pieces and then scanning these onto photos and arranging these on larger backgrounds to form the individual pieces into well-designed quality compositions.
