    S.I. Clarke - Consider Pegasus

    S.I Clarke shares her home with her partner and an assortment of waifs and strays. When not writing convoluted, inefficient stories, she spends her time telling financial services firms to behave more efficiently. When not doing either of those things, she can be found in the pub or shouting at people online — occasionally practising efficiency by doing both at once. As someone who’s neurodivergent, an immigrant, and the proud owner of an invisible disability, she strives to present a realistically diverse array of characters in her stories. She’s also a reader, mainly of science fiction and mysteries. Some of her favourite authors include: Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Becky Chambers, John Scalzi, Tanya Huff, Christopher Brookmyre, Robert J Sawyer, Charles Stross, Gareth Powell. Subscribers to her newsletter get her reviews of books she’s enjoyed. Twitter Instagram Goodreads Webpage

    Karen Hough - Ground Control

    Karen Hough is a writer, editor and blogger with an Honours BSc. in Human Kinetics. She's more than just a finicky grammar nerd, though a finicky grammar nerd she is.  As a Canadian, I can handle either neighbor or neighbour, and prefer to go without the Oxford comma, but can be flexible if needed. My favourite thing is creating content with impact, whether it be your work of fiction, news release, website or article. She lives with my husband, three energetic kids and a codependent office dog, boring impressing them all with stories about how she used to be a nutritionist, personal trainer and national-level fitness competitor. Her first novel, Ground Control, was published in early 2021 by Lights Out Ink Press. It was re-released in June 2022 by Sley House Publishing, on whose Tales of Sley House 2021 I collaborated as editor. You can find Karen on social media at the links below.
