Tad Tuleja is a writer and retired university teacher who holds a Ph.D. in folklore from the University of Texas at Austin. The author of thirty books, he has published works on history, literature, anthropology, children's folklore, music, and slang. His poems have appeared in Urthona, The Road Not Taken, Adirondack Review, and other journals. Under the musical alias Skip Yarrow, Tuleja has released two EPs: he performs his songs on www.skipyarrow.com and on You Tube. Hesperides the Aarborg, which began fifty years ago as a bedtime story for his four-year-old son, is his first children's book. It reflects his longstanding affection for animal fables and for the landscape of the American Southwest, where he lives with his wife and songwriting partner Andrée Nolen. With child-like enthusiasm and ink-stained hands, Philadelphia-based graphic artist Robbi Burns illustrates comics, storyboards, murals, album art, and 2d Games. A 2015 graduate of Memphis College of Art with a BFA in sequential narrative, Robbi has also studied at the Illustration Academy in Kansas City. After producing storyboards for clients including Big Lots, TriHealth Hospital and PBS through Baker & Hill, they released Glimmer's Rim, a role-playing adventure book published by [Glass//Cutter] in 2020. Robbi has attended the Pax Unplugged and IX art shows, has tabled at conventions around the country, and continues to push imaginative boundaries by creating sci-fi/fantasy illustrations, punk music, and improvised comedy.
