Author of Sci-FI / Fantasy and Giver of Good Vibes
M.L. Rowan. A name synonymous with complaining about back pain while collecting hobbies that require you to be hunched over like a shrimp while you engage with them.Why yes, you DO need to sit like this to write. It's what engages the creative process.M.L. Rowan loves to write fast-paced, exciting, and most importantly, loud fiction across a spectrum of genres, whether that be sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or romance. The most exciting part about writing is the "Yes, and," nature of drafting. No spectacle is worth writing unless it is jaw-dropping, and no emotional beat is complete until it is gut-punching.While not writing, they can be found hunched over on their couch knitting with their partner and two cats, or diving into obscure metal albums while fighting Dark Souls bosses and impatiently waiting for the next wave of inspiration to strike.

[ Acolyte ]Lenora Graves was selected for her fitting last name—and little else. Between dead-end jobs and surviving on dumpster sandwiches, she’s used to barely getting by. Now she wakes up dead… and gainfully employed.Her new job?Lead the zombie apocalypse and wipe out humanity as she knows it.The pay is bad. The hours are worse. Her only coworkers are a condescending evil grimoire and a miasmatic cat who hate each other. But for the first time in years, at least no one is taking credit for her work.And as her power grows, so does a dangerous possibility:If Lenora can claw her way to the top, she won't just end the world—She'll remake it.[ VERSUS ][ Adjudicator ]John Borgor has $20 to his name and a talent for making bad situations worse. No job, no fiancée, and a few too many lottery tickets. He’s spent thirty-two years falling short of his own expectations—which makes him the perfect pick when an alien corporation goes looking for humanity’s champion.They really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.His support team? Four talking rats who don’t fully understand the System they’ve been assigned to run.He’s always worked best with his back against the wall.It’s just never been a wall of zombies before.And if he can’t figure out how to play a game he doesn’t understand—Humanity doesn’t stand a chance.
