Victoria Moxley

Editor-In-Chief/Author
*Trials of Aphordite: Misaligned Myths Book One
*First Meetings

Victoria Moxley is many things.

Currently, she’s working on a horror/supernatural romance about demon hunting twins, a zombie apocalypse novel, a YA fantasy novel, and several short story collections. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s also working as a pharmacy tech, editing novels, designing covers, and doing some beta reading for good measure. Because being a Domme and nerdy gaming goth girl wasn’t fulfilling enough for her. Oh, and we can’t forget her contributions over at InThePantheon.com as the scribe for Aphrodite and as an assistant editor. She can be found in twitter at @daleksndemons and on her website at victoria-moxley.com.

She is a former prison sergeant that’s been writing for the voices in her head since 2000. Most of her writing can be found on various platforms and blogs. If she’s not writing, she’s gaming, making graphics/gifs, or building mods to bring the worlds of books and gods to Skyrim.

Fun Fact: She can wrangle mice, rats, snakes, and scorpions. The only thing she’s deathly afraid of is geckos. Yes, those creepy little pink guys. They send her screaming and crying. (Flying is also terrifying, but she can easily avoid that. Geckos are far too common in Texas)

Lynn Clark

Editor

A native Texan, I have been an enthusiastic & compulsive reader all my life, haunting libraries and bookstores at every opportunity. After my wandering days were over, I found a new home in Colorado, with various felines and 3 adults. Retirement has allowed me to continue reading and listening to an abundance of audiobooks.

My work career was varied, starting at age 16 selling Mustangs to building Texas Instruments calculators to working in the criminal justice system with recovering alcoholics & addicts. That led to my great love – creating and teaching bibliotherapy classes.

I generally inhabit small islands of great lucidity and organization, amid intermittent distraction and chaos.
