V's previous job titles include- award-winning community theatre actor, professional lecturer on cruise ships, indie film producer, literary agent, and creative project manager; however, ""writer"" is the title that always fits. V plays competitive flat track roller derby as ""Scarlet Five"" #55 and prefers the pivot role, aka ""surprise jamming."" Born in Alaska and raised in Oregon, she currently lives with her partner in Upstate NY and has two cats named Skeletor and Bo-Catan. Tatiana Hill (she/her) is a Black and Latina illustrator by day and roller skater by night. Her art journey began alongside her love for anime in the early 2000s and culminated with a BA in Animation.

Born in Los Angeles and a member of the roller skate community there, Tatiana enjoys participating in a space that celebrates diversity, identity, and found family. She illustrated The Roller World Tarot deck and Blood City Rollers, her debut graphic novel as an illustrator." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
