Rebekah is an author and entrepreneur living in east Tennessee with her husband and lazy Great Dane, Molly. Her favorite color is rainbow, and her wardrobe (and phone case... and wallet... and bookshelf) proves it! When she's not working on the next big update to The Based Reader App or an acquisitions edit for Lion's next litRPG or sci-fi, she's running a marketing agency or upping the word count on her next novel.

Seth Cordle Co-founder

Seth grew up outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. In elementary school, he fell in love with reading and writing, wasting away his time writing stories and flipping pages. At 20, he fell in love with Jesus. At 30, he fell in love with Jesse. They remain his three loves to this day. He spent his high school years known as the comic book guy and his early adulthood evangelizing for Dungeons & Dragons. It took many different loves and passions before he found the one that stuck: fantasy novels. He currently resides in Johnson City, Tennessee with his wife and fluffy pup.
