K. Anders is the author of multiple short stories--including three which ranked #1 in their respective categories on the Amazon Best Seller list. His first novel, the urban fantasy, "Dragonsworn," was released by Jumpmaster Press in December 2025 and he has a post-apocalypse fantasy novel due to be released in August 2026. An avid participant and supporter of the arts, he writes character-based fiction in many genres but prefers the creative freedom of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror.

In the summer of 2022, Julie sold her house and all her belongings to move to San Diego and learn to surf. LESSONS FROM THE OCEAN is that story, and Julie’s first published work. While in San Diego, Julie also invented a new class, entitled MUSEUM ISLAND, and she published a workbook and teachers manual of the same name. She is currently working on a narrative about her travels to Iceland, entitled LESSONS FROM ICELAND.
