Vasily Mahanenko is a fantasy/science fiction author and one of the founders of the LitRPG genre. His debut novel, The Way of the Shaman, took literature by storm in 2012. Vasily's bestselling Way of the Shaman series combines fiction and video games, telling the story of Shaman and his friends stuck in the ruthless reality of Barliona. The entire body of Vasily's works to date is available on Amazon, with new books added as he creates new fantasy worlds and stories.
Jonathan Yen was inspired by the Golden Age of Radio, and while the gold was gone by the time he got there, he's carried that inspiration through to commercial work, voice acting, and stage productions. His "versatile baritone" and "distinct and perceptive role-playing" make for "a striking marriage of performance and storytelling." From vintage Howard Fast science fiction to naturalist Paul Rosolie's true adventures in the Amazon, Jonathan loves to tell a good story.
