Alesia Matson is an author, needlework enthusiast, aspiring Buddha, RPGer, gardener, tech-geeky, herbalist, and pirate. She’s been married to Michael, her co-author, for 21 years. They have two grown sons, two goofy dogs, and one eccentric cat. She writes for her own entertainment, and hopefully, yours. You can view her Google+ page here. Michael Matson wrote his first book at age 12. A 24-page masterpiece hand typed onto letter paper folded in half with a construction paper cover—hand illustrated, of course—the tome was nonetheless a bestseller in the family. Since then, he’s been an airman; a commercial fisherman, the third generation to go to sea in his family; a lobbyist; truck driver; counselor and minister; and general contractor. All the while, writing has remained an important creative outlet and a cornerstone of his marriage to his equally gifted wife. Having retired from his construction firm, he now writes and publishes full time from his home in Northern California. You can view his Google+ page here; or get his vcard information here. In addition, Metaphor Publications is privileged to have the following excellent professionals involved in the company:
