Nikki Brooke grew up in Australia but instead of spending time riding on the backs of kangaroos (which is not recommended), she spent it with her head in books. She’s a self-proclaimed geek, loving science fiction, fantasy, history and mythology and is proud of it—which is probably obvious since she’s a science fiction and fantasy writer, and she named her dogs, Osiris and Apollo, after ancient gods.

She wrote “Please Pay Upon Check-Out” in Collective Visions.

Writing has a unique power, and Alex Child is just smart enough to know that he's nowhere near smart enough to accurately describe it. Between working half as hard as he should and twice as hard as required at his day job, he continues pursuing that indescribable emotional swell from relating to a literary character and sharing their experiences. He hopes his story brings you even just a portion of that rush.

He wrote “Through the Hatch” in Collective Visions.

Matthew A Goodwin has been writing about spaceships, dragons and adventures since he was a child. After creating his first fantasy world at twelve years old, he never stopped writing. Storytelling happened only in the background for over a decade as he spent his days caring for wildlife as a zookeeper, but when his son was born, he decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an author. Having always loved sweeping space operas and gritty cyberpunk stories that asked questions about man’s relationship to technology, he penned the international bestselling series, A Cyberpunk Saga. His passion for the genre also inspired him to create and cofound Cyberpunk Day™, a celebration of all things high tech / low life in the arts.

He is now expanding his science fiction universe into space.

He wrote “Choice Conditions” in Collective Visions.

Dylan Colón is not just an author of horror, but a passionate fan of the genre. His love for horror isn't limited to literature; Dylan considers it his favorite genre in film. He believes that God brought redemption to his crippling fear of irrational things and his learning disability that kept him from learning how to read and write during his early school years. Perhaps that is why he feels passionate about reading and writing; perhaps that is why he writes about the things that terrify him. Against all odds, he published his own books and will continue to do so! DareToDream and read if you dare.

He wrote “Beware Of Beings In The Sky!” in Collective Visions.
