Hannah โ€œSpoonโ€ Wilson is a professional illustrator and artist whose work ranges from book covers and inset illustrations, to fine art and paintings, to biological illustration. They frequently explore elaborate depictions of the natural world, mixed with witchy, nerdy, and fantastical elements. Their work is crafted in a variety of media, but ink, watercolor, and digital are their favorites.

Recent publications of their work include inset illustrations in Lesbians in Space 2: The Sapphics Strike Backโ€” an anthology by Space Wizard publishing, the covers for the brand new Gen X romance series by Samantha Bryantโ€”Not Too Late, Acid Reign, and Ready or Not, and the inset illustrations for the upcoming reprint of When the Television Decides to Murder your Girlfriend by Martin Shannon.

When they arenโ€™t drawing, you can typically find them making and dressing up in custom cosplays! Other hobbies of theirs include reading while curled up with their cat, weaving, hiking, and traveling with their husband and dog.

You can see their work on most social media sites under @spoonwooddraws, on their website at spoonwoodvisuals.com, or come by their booth in the Artist Alley to say hello!

K.B. Wagers has a bachelorโ€™s degree in Russian Studies and their non-fiction writing has earned them an Air Force Space Command media contest award for best guest writer. A native of Colorado, they currently live in the north of the state with plenty of access to hiking trails. They are a firm believer in the importance of rest and have given several talks on burnout and the deluge of toxic productivity especially in the publishing industry.

K.B. has an avid interest in martial arts and non-violence, seeing these two things as flip sides of the same coin rather than paradoxical ideas. They enjoy whiskey and coffee in unequal measure, would gladly live in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Horizon Zero Dawn (until they were likely felled by a machine). During the hockey season you can find them buried under an Avalanche and the rest of the year they defend the managed democracy of Super Earth with the other Helldivers.

K.B. is the author of the NeoG Adventures from Harper Voyager and the Indranan and Farian War trilogies from Orbit Books. They are a fan of whiskey and cats, Jupiter Ascending, and the Muppets.

A Caltech Distinguished alumnus, Brin spent a decade advising NASAโ€™s Innovative & Advanced Concepts program (NIAC). He appears frequently on shows such as Nova and The Universe and Life After People. His first non-fiction bookโ€”The Transparent Societyโ€”won the Freedom of Speech Award.
