Greyson Black

Greyson Black is the nom de plume for one half of Sainan Books. Born an army brat in Germany, he attended 3 Elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 3 colleges before finally ignoring all education to set out on the impossible task of becoming a professional author.

Wherever he tries to move to, Huntsville, AL is the leash that always tugs him back home, where he lives with his roommates: Me, Myself, and I. When not transmuting coffee into ink, he is typically found painting miniatures, researching the etymology of his latest distracting phrase, or telling really bad jokes


E. Scott Clevenger

Nestled in the serene suburbs of Chicago, the other half of Sainan Books, E. Scott Clevenger draws inspiration from the extraordinary bonds that shape his life. As a son, a devoted husband, and father of two boys, Scott’s tales are woven with the threads of family love and the magical moments that define his characters.

Scott spends time with his wife and children in the Chicago suburbs. He is still an avid reader, a lover of RPGs, and stories of all types. He still attends his Sunday and Tuesday night game sessions, and loves to annoy the table with pop-culture references and broken song lyrics.
