Q: What are your first names?

A: When we aren't writing, we answer to Rich and Ken. Although we've both been called several unflattering things as well.

Q: Why does Rich get first billing?

A: Long story, but it basically came down to a Mountain Dew guzzling competition. And nobody can hold as much Dew as Rich can.

Q: How long have you guys been writing?

A: Individually since we were kids. Together since 2001.

Q: What else have you written together?

A: Our first collaborative effort was a young adult fantasy, Crown of the Summerhavens, the first part of a four-part epic. We'd love to get back to work on part two, Quest for the Stars, but Crown is still looking for a home. Currently, we're working on an action-adventure called The Legend Hunters and a graphic novel type story tentatively called Guardian Angel. We've also written several short stories.
