Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin to awesome parents. After nine years at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, he accidentally had enough credits to graduate with an English degree. Patrick then went to grad school. He’d rather not talk about it. In March 2007, The Name of the Wind was published and met with surprising success. In the years since, it has been translated into 30 languages, won all manner of awards, and become a bestseller in several countries. After a great deal of work and a few raised eyebrows from his patient editor, Wise Man’s Fear came out in March 2011, immediately hitting #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. When not working on the third book of the series, Pat plays with his kiddos, makes mead, and runs Worldbuilders, a geek-centered charity that has raised more than a million dollars for Heifer International.

Nate Taylor was born in the suburban wilds of Alaska where he grew up in the shadow of the Chugach Mountains. He attended high school in Spokane, Washington and went to college at the Washington State University, where he became friends with Patrick Rothfuss. Taylor began drawing at an early age and was encouraged by his parents to follow his dreams. With a steady stream of Walt Disney, Looney Tunes, and Star Trek, he developed a love of fantastical stories and expressive characters that took him through art school and into professional illustration. Taylor has won an award in the Illustrators of the Future contest. See more of Nate Taylor's work on his website.
