Brandan Roberts

(Founder, Lead Editor, Illustrator)

This guy here is the culprit. It’s his fault Nat 1 Publishing is a thing—you can blame him for pushing human culture slightly closer to complete and utter annihilation with his Macy Blush books and this small indie-publishing house. He comes from the western foothills of Maine, USA where he lives with his wife, daughter, tortoise, cats, and silver pheasants. He felt his bachelors in liberal studies with minors in history and behavioral studies, masters in interdisciplinary studies focused on ethnography and folklore, and graduate certificate in digital curation were getting lonely, so he’s now working on a bachelor degree in English. When not contributing to the collapse of society, you can find him camping, reading, or playing TTRPGs. He also likes to unabashedly promote himself, so here’s a link to his author website.

She is currently ded and far too tired for nonsense like bios. Ask her in a couple months when she is once again a real live functioning human.

Bio coming soon. What’s up with these procrastinators?!

Kathleen Locke

(Assistant Editor)

Proud mom of one awesome grown up daughter. When she isn’t pulling her hair out trying to keep an entire dental office in line, she enjoys crocheting, reading, crossword puzzles, Jeopardy (every night, don’t call when it’s on—seriously), fixing broken things, and just basically keeping mind and hands busy. And these days, throws in some editing just to keep things interesting.
