These are the people that have made Edenlancer possible plus me.  Without them, I could not have had a polished product.  I sincerely thank them with all of my heart.

Austen J. Hesler

Author / Illustrator

Austen Hesler was born in New York where he has spent the first half of his life. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech and Ball State University with degrees in apparel, housing, and resource management and architecture. Austen now resides outside of Baltimore, Maryland, working as an unliscensed architect. Writing and storytelling have always been close to his heart, especially the genres of fantasy and science fiction. For years, he has written unpublished short stories and scenarios that turned into a collection of personal tales, those tales called Edenlancer.

K. Michele Hesler

Editor / Collaborator

Austen's partner in life and his obvious better half, Michele is an intelligent and caring person who always finds time to offer a helping hand.  A native to Virginia and the small town of Clarksville, her life was thrown onto a roller coaster when she met Austen at the age of 15.  Like him, she has always been interested in creating stories and writing on her free time which made her an excellent choice in helping develop and edit (which was much needed).  Unlike Austen, she had her nose in a book since a very young age, often running out of things to read from her local and school libraries. 

Micheleis currently a stay-at-home mom tending to a rambunctious 3-year old.  She dreams of getting back out into the workplace to practice mental health counseling.  She strives to help people during their darkest moments and hopes that she may make a difference doing so.

Julie Musial

Editor

A bright and passionate young woman who works as a graduate architect in Indiana.  Julie and Austen met in graduate school studying architecture at Ball State University.  It didn't take long for Austen to understand that Julie was very intelligent and very capable not just architecture, but written arts as well.  She joined the team to help edit the book and made it that much better as a result.
