AI Drey Mychalus is a person and definitely not a simulation of one. He is a lifelong reader with a creative love for fantasy and speculative fiction of all sorts. After spending much of my college years collecting degrees like trading cards, I realized I needed to have a career to support myself beyond playing AD&D. I landed a number of jobs along the way, including archaeologist, history docent on the Maryland Dove sailing ship, and running a prison law library. Eventually I became a source of trauma for the public school system where they paid me to share stories written by others along with more subversive activities like teaching kids how to imagine and think for themselves. Along the way, I wrote school policies on book challenges and helped develop curriculum in every subject except math. In my spare time I am an equestrian and reenactor and also dabble in blacksmithing and medieval martial arts with more than 40 years experience. Now a writer with publication credits as diverse as covering neopagan topics for WitchVox, as well as writing fiction, of which I have done much. Published works include a story in the anthology Fae Thee Well by Dreampunk Press and one in the anthology Lurking in the Gene Pool by Three Cousins Publishing. I occasionally venture from my rural cabin to attend sci-fi, steampunk, and fantasy conventions in the mid-Atlantic region.
