About the Author

Stefan Liner (1989) was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, to Jay and Robin Liner but grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina around Asheville where he currently resides. He is the eldest of six children and was home-schooled through all twelve grades. Even as a young boy Stefan had a propensity toward creativity, world building and storytelling. He and his siblings would spend hours after school exploring the outdoors around their country home, building forts and going on all kinds of themed adventures. Although he had no lack of creativity, an area that became a challenge for Stefan was learning to read. One day he would make great strides and the next it seemed as if he had forgotten everything he had just learned. It was very frustrating for Stefan to see his friends reading big books like the Hobbit, while he struggled to get through a small 150 page book. However, eventually his mother's persistence paid off and Stefan slowly became a more proficient reader. That new found ability to read, quickly lead to writing and Stefan's propensity for creativity now had a new medium on which to be expressed. Over the years, Stefan has pursued many forms of storytelling, from performing in plays, to producing and directing for screen. From 2016 to 2018 Stefan teamed up with his mom to write and produce the award winning Web-series "When Fact Fact Fiction" which was released by their company Liner House. The media company focuses on producing family friendly stories about "Ordinary people with extraordinary lives". Currently they are working together on "The Curious World of Eddie Billings" book series. A series that follows Eddie Billings, a reclusive conspiracy theorist that believes his parent's untimely death was not an accident, as he has been told, and is set on finding out what really happened. The first book of the series, "Eddie & The Lizard Man" is scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2020.

Robin Liner grew up near the San Francisco East Bay Area in Danville, California. She spent her time performing in plays, writing music and performing concerts with her parents throughout the region. Then at the age of sixteen her family moved to Florida and she began to pursue a solo career under her maiden name Robyn Pope. She toured across the United States and Canada until she settled down to raise her family in North Carolina at the age of twenty-four. She decided to homeschool her six children and it was this experience that spurred her to begin writing. She focuses on plays, screenplays and books. Robin currently resides in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina with her family. She is presently promoting a YA science fiction/mystery book that she co-wrote with her son Stefan Liner titled Eddie And The Lizard Man. She credits coffee and insomnia for providing time to write.
