Orcas Intruder

Laura Gayle is the nom de plume of two friends who were ready to collaborate. Shannon Page was born on Halloween night and raised without television on a back-to-the-land commune in northern California. Her work has appeared in Clarkesworld, Interzone, Fantasy, Black Static, Tor.com, and many anthologies. Books include Eel River; Orcas Intrigue, the first book of the Chameleon Chronicles, co-written with Karen G. Berry; Our Lady of the Islands, co-written with the late Jay Lake; and the forthcoming The Queen and The Tower, book one of the Nightcraft Quartet. Her many editing credits include the essay collection The Usual Path to Publication and the anthology Witches, Stitches & Bitches. Shannon is a longtime yoga practitioner, has no tattoos, and recently moved with her husband, Mark Ferrari, to a house on Orcas Island, Washington, where she makes shrubs (aka sipping vinegars) when she's not making words. Visit her at www.shannonpage.net. Karen G. Berry has lived in or near Portland, Oregon, for over thirty years. So far, she has failed to transcend her solidly Midwestern upbringing. She has three grown daughters, two small dogs, one fantastic partner named Tony, and several thousand books. A social media professional by day, Karen is an extensively published poet with work appearing in many print and online journals. Karen's first novel is Love and Mayhem at the Francie June Memorial Trailer Park. Her second novel is The Iris Files: Notes from a Desperate Housewife. Visit her at www.karengberry.mywriting.network/.
