Cook, Patrick Dorsey, and Marlee Rae, three accomplished writers as they share their creative process, inspiration, and publishing insights. Whether you’re a writer or a passionate reader, this panel is sure to offer a unique and engaging discussion on all things fiction. 

Brad Cook is the author of historical fantasy, and award-winning short stories. He began as a playwright, dipped into the corporate writing world, and served as co-publisher and acquisitions editor for Blank Slate Press. He currently serves as Historian of St. Louis Writers Guild after three and half years as President. He learned to fence at thirteen, and never set down his sword, but prefers to curl up with a centuries’ old classic. Brad’s website:https://www.bradrcook.com/

Patrick Dorsey has spent his career as a professional business writer helping people and businesses tell their stories. A natural storyteller his whole life, he began creating his own books in first grade by stapling together crayoned pages. A St. Louis native in all but birthplace, he holds a degree in English from the University of Missouri, St. Louis. It was in college he also began fencing, which he continues to pursue as an instructor and as president of the St. Louis Fencers Club. God's Forge is his first novel published without either a stapler or crayons. Website: https://legendaryplanet.com
