DeCandido, Keith

Rocketed to Earth as an infant to avoid the destruction of his homeplanet, Keith R.A. DeCandido fights for truth, justice, and reasonable deadlines, though he rarely encounters any of those things.  He is the author of almost 50 novels, at which point he gets a free set of steak knives.  He’s also written bunches of short stories, comic books, novellas, and more.  A good chunk of his work has been in various media universes, ranging from TV shows (buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Farscape, Leverage, Star Trek, Supernatural) to games (Command and Conquer, Dungeons and Dragons, StarCraft, World of Warcraft), to movies (Cars, Resident Evil, Serenity).  His recent and upcoming work inclues the forthcoming Leverage novel The Zoo Job; the high fantasy police procedurals Dragon Precinct (2004, re-released in trade paperback in 2011), Unicorn Precinct (2011), and Goblin Precinct (2012), with Tales from the Dragon Precinct coming later this year; -30-, the first part of the “Vira1″ series of thriller novellas, coauthored with Steven Savile; the SCPD novel series about cops in a city filled with superheroes, including The Case of the Claw (2011) and Avenging Amethyst (2013); Guilt in Innocence, the first of several contributions to the shared-world science fiction series “Tales of the Scattered Earth”; and stories in the anthologies V-Wars (edited by Jonathan Maberry), Tales from the House Band Volume 1, More Tales of Zorro, Dragon’s Lure, and Badass Faeries 4: It’s Elemental.  In 2009, Keith was inexplicably granted a Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, which means he never needs to accomplish anything ever again.  He also babbled incoherently on camera for the biography Channel’s Star Trek special “Captains of the Final Frontier”, and the documentaries Done the Impossible (about Firefly and Serenity) and The Life of Death.

In addition to all this, Keith is the percussionist of the Boogie Knights, a first-degree black belt in Kenshikai karate, podcaster for both The Chronic Rift and Dead Kitchen Radio: The Keith R.A. Candido Podcast, does voices for the audo dramas Gypsy Cove and the Parsec Award-winning Gypsy Cove, and is a lifelong fan of the World Champion New York Yankees.  He has lived most of his life in the Bronx.  Find out less at his mediocre web site at DeCandido.net, read his inane ramblings at kradical.livejournal.com, or follow him on Facebook and/or Twitter under the username “KRADeC”.

Sigfrit, Rich

To say that I enjoy podcasting and new media would be a gross understatement. My credits include mentions in high school and collegiate papers, newspapers, Podcasting for Dummies, and Advanced Podcasting Tricks. I have been called an innovator, having created the first Star Wars podcast (RotO), the first podcast for an Independent Wrestling Federation (Halo: Hardwired), and distributed the first comicbook made available via podcast feed (Podcast 9). I was the force behind the official Troma Podcast and a former host/editor of the 501stCast, the official podcast of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion. I co-wrote, with Davey Beauchamp, the Amazing Pulp Adventures Radio Show starring Mister Adventure Script book, with its second volume debuting soon. Along with his writing talents, Davey and I have been doing Mister Adventure via podcast and live on stage for the past 5 years. I have also done commercial voice work as the voice of CRASH and SWE Wrestling, Volaris phone systems, and Howards RV. I have MC’d numerous events at various cons, and host 3 nights a week for Wise Entertainment, a traveling Trivia company. Between the podcasts, requested voices from other shows, and father of 3, I have little time for my eventual webcomic, book, shortfilms, comicbook, and film festival.

In my spare time, I sleep.
