Who is the Nautilus Engine?

Ron Warren

Editor, webmaster and generally man of many hats at the Nautilus Engine. He has been a lifelong lover of science fiction and horror and enjoys contributing to the speculative fiction world in this little way. Ron dips his toe in the waters of fiction but he dives headfirst into the ocean of photography. Check out samples of his work here if you need photography in SE Michigan!

Janine Beaulieu

An original Nautilus Engine founder, contributor, and writer who lives in Michigan with 2 cats and a "whole lotta" books.

Christian Klaver

An author as well as an original NE founder, contributor, and sponsor. He lives in Livonia, MI with his wife, daughter and far too many pets. See his writing portfolio at christianklaver.com. And don't miss his truly terrific Holmes tale in The Anthology of Dark Wisdom: The Best of Dark Fiction, William Jones, ed.

Heath Lowrance

A writer and original Nautilus Engine founder and contributor. He lives in a suburb of Detroit, where he writes, reads, watches movies, listens to music, and occasionally broods rather stylishly. He is currently hard at work on his second novel, since the first one was such a massive success (The Bastard Hand from New Pulp Press). Visit his blog at psycho-noir for various ramblings and the occasional free short story.
