Brian St.Claire-King

Brian does a majority of the writing, game design, advertising, art direction, web programming and print buying for Vajra Enterprises.

Brian's parents were Buddhist ministers. He has dual Canadian and American citizenship. For part of his childhood he lived in a ghetto in Oakland, CA. He spent much of his youth on antidepressant medication (he was told it was "to help him sleep"). Brian taught himself to program on an old Apple II+ (without a disk drive or hard drive). He has a BA in psychology and has worked as an Information Technology Consultant. Today, Brian is happily married to a cute anarchist lawyer, lives near Portland OR, and his hobbies include cooking and digital photography. Brian has written compulsively as far back as he can remember. Whenever he tries to stop writing he gets grumpy and irritable.

Dirk Vandereyken

Dirk is the author of the novel 'Fates Worse Than Death: Hunter.'

Dirk Vandereyken was born February 10, 1975. As a young man he liked to skip school quite a lot in order to secretly attend role-playing conventions overseas and practice martial arts instead. Two years after discovering The Dark Eye RPG at age 9, Dirk discovered the The Lord of the Rings trilogy and wrote his first novel, Ice, The Lost Planet, which got published to critical acclaim at age 14 (making him the youngest Belgian SF author ever).

At age 15, Dirk took on the job of Regional Director for the Role-Playing Game Association Network for Belgium and wrote his next few books, a fairy tale and a fantasy novel. Two decades later Dirk started his own RPG-fanzine, The Fighting Bard, which eventually evolved into Cerberus Too. Since then, Dirk has been working as a hypno- and psychotherapist, producer, martial arts choreographer, journalist for four different magazines, singer and movie P.R. consultant.
