Erik Daniel Shein got his start first as a trained herpetologist, studying reptiles and amphibians, before turning his gaze to writing. In his early years, he consulted with the Fish & Wildlife services and other agencies on toxicology and herpetology.

As one might imagine, he is deeply passionate about animals, often featuring them in his stories and content. He has authored and co-written more than 30 novels.

In addition to his writing, Erik is the founder and CEO of Shein Partnership LLC, a creative asset and intellectual property firm, with projects ranging from Crime Thrillers to Live Action and CGI animated feature films to television specials and series and book publishing.

Born in Southern Illinois, Melissa Davis fell in love with reading from an early age, so much so that she started writing when she was in the second grade. From poetry to short stories, she has a love for it all. When she was in high school, she attended Illinois Summer School for the Arts at Illinois State University, which led her to attend the university. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Education, Melissa taught for several years until her children were born, allowing her to fulfill two dreams: motherhood and penning her first books.
