Laura Gayle began life as the nom de plume of two friends who love to collaborate, Shannon Page and Karen G. Berry. In 2023, with Orcas Afterlife, Mark J. Ferrari joined the writing team, after editing the earlier volumes for some years before.

Shannon Page was born on Halloween night and raised without television on a back-to-the-land commune in northern California. She writes fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and personal essays, and she also loves to edit anthologies. Shannon is a longtime yoga practitioner, has no tattoos, and lives on lovely, remote Orcas Island, Washington, with her husband, author and illustrator Mark Ferrari.

Karen G. Berry has lived in or near Portland, Oregon, for forty years, but remains solidly Midwestern in outlook. She has one wonderful husband, three wonderful daughters, two wonderful grandsons, and several thousand books. A marketing writer by day, Karen is a prize-winning poet and has published seven novels and one nonfiction book, Shopping at the Used Man Store. As a committed underachiever, Karen finds all of this fairly amazing.

Mark J. Ferrari has been a commercial genre illustrator since 1987. His first fantasy novel, The Book of Joby, was published by Tor in 2007, honored as a Booksense Pick, made Booklist’s “Top Ten” for science fiction/fantasy in 2008, and was chosen as a finalist for the Endeavour Award. He currently resides with his wife, Shannon Page, on Orcas Island, Washington, where he is a committed—one might even say obsessive—gardener.
