Kristopher Young was born in 1974 with roots in Philadelphia and New York City. He moved to Portland, Oregon in 2004 to focus on his writing. His background is diverse; he’s vegan, is trained in branding and scarification, put himself through school designing databases and has a Master’s Degree in Media Ecology (the impact of mass communication on society) from New York University. Click  is his debut novel.

Born in 1974, Jesse Reno is a self-taught mixed-media painter. He lives and works in his home studio in Portland, Oregon. He’s been drawing since he was five years old, painting and showing his works publicly since 2000. Jesse painted the cover for Click  in 2005.

Dayna Crozier resides in NYC and is currently senior editor for the music site Epitonic and assists with RES Magazine, a bi-monthly publication dealing with film, music, art, design, and culture. Dayna edited Click and kept Kristopher in line as best she could.

Craig Quackenbush was born in 1968 in upstate New York. He holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism and studied film at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He is a freelance journalist, currently with Specialty Publications in Los Angeles. His features, interviews, and reviews have appeared in New York’s Show Business Weekly, Talent in Motion magazine, Buffalo’s Art Voice, Lucid (Connecticut’s Independent Arts & Entertainment Weekly), and on The Agitator.

Craig is a freelance editor with Another Sky Press and is helping to put out some of our top-secret new projects.

Christine Barnum, born in 1979, has a Bachelor of Music in Music Business from New York University. She is keeper of all things that even look like receipts and is in charge of all math type stuff up to and including (especially including) royalties. This is good, because she’s an expert in royalty type stuff - in fact, she’s probably audited the royalties of your favorite band at one point in her life. She’s the muscle behind Another Sky Press, keeping it from becoming buried under a pile of crumpled, coffee stained receipts.

Steven Spikoski was born in 1976 and hasn’t looked back. He studied illustration at the School of Visual Arts in NYC and has a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia and Web Design from the Art Institute of Philadelphia. He designed the Another Sky Press logo (and its rad variants) and is also going to be working on some other kick ass projects for Another Sky Press. Eventually. Someday. Soon.

Mike Fields is the wild card, and the world is better for having him. Mike does some of the coding for Another Sky Press - mostly all the icky php stuff like the image viewer (for reading our books online) and paypal integration. He also runs Black Market Culture, the coolest art site on the web. He does freelance web design, so if you need something done check out his design site, mfields.org.

Lyla has a magic machine that somehow makes everything beautiful and perfect and real. You wish you were there… even when you were there, because somehow, it all seems so much better through her lense. Lyla is a clutch player at Another Sky Press - not directly involved, per se, but she’s always there when it counts. Check out her photography site.
