Serianna Leyland was born in December 1985 in San Francisco. As a lover of books from a very young age, her two biggest hobbies growing up were reading and writing. She graduated with honors from Dominican University of California in 2008 with a B.A. in Literature and Writing (where she also minored in Music Performance). She tasted what the world had to offer for a few years before deciding that a Master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences was necessary for her dream career. She is currently in her third semester at San Jose State University’s Master in Library and Information Sciences program, focusing on two LIS concentrations: Archives and Children’s Librarianship. Serianna lives in Marin County, California with her husband and cat.

Nathan Milos was born in Bitburg, Germany while his father was serving in the air force.  Most of his formative years were spent in the Black Hills of South Dakota (the HBO show Deadwood is based on the sister city of his hometown Lead, SD; Lead and Deadwood are about 3 miles away from each other and have a joint high school and middle school).  He received a B.A. in English from Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD in 2002, a PhD in English in 2010 from UC Davis, and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Library Sciences at San Jose State.  Nathan loves experimental literature, graphic novels, video games, sports, baking, and music (especially Post Punk, Soul, and Funk).  He currently resides in Davis, CA with his wife, brother, and cat -- Syd Vicious.
