About the Authors

A. J. Cerna:

A.J. Cerna is an author, film-lover, and gamer. While his love will always exist for the Nintendo classics like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, his big love of the medium came in the late-90s when he first played Final Fantasy VI for the first time (Though back then, it was released on SNES as Final Fantasy III), and so began his love affair with the JRPGs. He's enjoyed the classics -- from Lunar 2 to Chrono Cross -- and he couldn't be happier to see the genre re-emerging in a big way.

In addition to Djinn Tamer, A.J. is hard at work on writing The Gryphon Outcast Trilogy, which is a follow-up series to co-writer Derek Alan Siddoway's Gryphon Riders Trilogy. This new trilogy is expected to hit in the summer of 2019!

Derek Alan Siddoway:

Derek Alan Siddoway grew up on a steady diet of Pokemon Yellow and Saturday morning Digimon cartoons. Later on, Monster Rancher Advance was added to the mix.  It was inevitable that when he became an author, his passion for monster battling would eventually appear out of the tall grass. It first took the form of the Gryphon Riders Trilogy,  an Amazon Bestselling Young Adult Fantasy series. The Djinn Tamer series is the culmination of years of catching Pokemon, drawing Digimon and training Monsters for the AGIMA Tournament.
