Raine Thomas is the author of the exciting and original series of YA fantasy/romance novels about the Estilorian plane. A member of Romance Writers of America, Raine has crafted stories for as long as she can remember.

Since 2005, Campbell has maintained the “Morning Satirical News” weblog (http://jockstewart.typepad.com/) where his alter ego, Jock Stewart, takes a “cynical, sarcastic and randomly humorous look at real and/or imagined news.” The early posts from this weblog served as the basis for the satire, Worst of Jock Stewart. Junction City, the Star-Gazer newspaper and the primary characters in Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire were born at the “Morning Satirical News.” While both Campbell and Stewart learned to handset justified columns of metal type out of a California Job Case and copy fit headlines without using layout software, everything else in Jock Stewart and the Missing Sea of Fire is more or less fictional. Campbell was graduated from Florida State University with a B.A. in radio-television writing, with a minor in English, and from Syracuse University with an M. A. in journalism. He also attended the University of Colorado as a journalism student and a weekend climbing participant at the school’s Mountain Recreation Department. He served in the U. S. Navy as a journalist between 1968 and 1970, writing news stories and features for the military and the civilian press while on board the aircraft carrier U. S. S. Ranger (CVA-61) and while stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Station. Campbell lives in Jefferson, Georgia with his wife Lesa, of 22 years, a former newspaper reporter, systems analyst, and the consulting director of the Crawford W. Long Museum. In December, Campbell finished serving four years, three as chair, on the Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission. Both Campbells have been active in the town’s Main Street Program. An avid reader and book reviewer, Campbell especially enjoys the novels of Sunetra Gupta, Italo Calvino, Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Clarke, Cormac McCarthy and Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
