AP Roy
AP Roy was born and raised in the Phoenixville area of southeastern Pennsylvania. The rich colonial history of the area gave Mr. Roy a love for history and teaching history and storytelling became the passion and drive of his education. His studies in history from the medieval era to the American civil war have shaped the timelines and stories of his work.
An avid player of fantasy table-top role-playing games, AP became accustomed to creating worlds to guide groups of players through. This challenged him to turn these worlds into a series of stories to share with the world.
Mr. Roy still resides in Phoenixville with his wife, and fellow writer, where they and other friends have founded Longship Pub LLC.

Ian Herwig
Ian Herwig was a country boy from West Virginia who a few years before the events of 9/11 decided to leave the family farm and join the United States Army. A few short years later the tragic events of 9/11 would change the world and his life forever.
What was meant to be a single enlistment became a twenty-year career as he decided to serve his country fully. During his service, his own experiences and those of others have given Ian many stories, reflections, and memories. Ian felt driven to compile them into a fictional work to tell a story, of fictional names, but of stories and people that are all too real. His work “Fire Fight” covers combat encounters from various generations of soldiers who have answered the call.
Other than his upcoming work, and his support in the formation of Longship Pub LLC, Mr. Herwig has been happy to retire and retreat to solitude and private life with his horses and his family in rural West Virginia.
