In 2010, Reagan came across the One Year Adventure Novel writing curriculum at a Cincinnati homeschool conference. Through it, he discovered that writing was among his callings.

The next year, Reagan graduated from Summit Ministries‘ worldview conference, located in Manitou Springs Colorado. It was at this Christian Worldview training workshop that he first caught the vision for how exceptional Christian art could impact and change the culture for Christ.

Later that year, he learned of a fledgling eMagazing that his friend Eli King had put together in a Microsoft Word document. Seeing the potential it had to advance the vision he had discovered at Summit, he joined on.

Together, along with the help of his brother, sister, and mother, they took Kingdom Pen online, and rapidly grew the readership from 20, to 500.

It’s his dream that Kingdom Pen can help lead the charge for a new generation of writers and creatives seeking to further God’s kingdom on earth.

Reagan has completed the rough drafts of three novels, two of which were semi-finalists in the One Year Adventure Novel writing contest.

In addition to writing, Reagan works full time as a Brand Consultant, helping entrepreneurs build their businesses online.

Reagan is also currently going to school for audio engineering, and he and his wife write music together for thier Synthpop project, Andromeda Coast.

Reagan met his wife, Haley, through Kingdom Pen, and their first child is due in May of 2018.

Hope Ann is a speculative fiction writer who lives on a small farm in northern Indiana. She is the author of the Legends of Light series and enjoys blogging and vlogging.

Her goal is to write thrilling Christian fantasy and futuristic fiction—stories she longed for while growing up.

She loves climbing trees, archery, photography, Lord of the Rings, chocolate, and collecting shiny things she claims are useful for story inspiration.

When Daeus was fourteen, he did something that was probably illegal to pregnant women and children in the state of California and definitely not recommended for the faint of heart—he wrote a story.

This dangerous expedition developed in him an addiction to storytelling. Since then, he may or may not have visited numerous doctors, all of whom have announced his case hopeless. Current symptoms include: locking himself in a room for hours to write, a heightened consumption of raspberries and chocolate, and becoming a psychopathic stalker of his Kindle.

Doctors finally abandoned all hope when Daeus became an official moderator of the Kingdom Pen forum. When asked by a reporter what he thought about this new position, Daeus replied, “I’m pretty grateful, actually. I found myself on there several times a day and making that part of my job description was the ultimate excuse.”

Popular legend has him as the creator of the Jumpstart Your Novel course and a side contributor to the Theme Mastery course, but when pushed on the subject, this mysterious fellow has always pleaded the fifth.

His main interests (besides writing, of course) are permaculture, online business, and checking up on his writing friends at the forum.

He doesn’t drink coffee, and he likes chocolate in his scones.

Daeus has published two books, Edwin Brook: Dire Recompense and Treachery Against the House of Fairwin.

MacKenzie, affectionately known as “Mac” by the KP staff, is an unashamed coffee lover and chocolate consumer. She committed to her favorite relationship at age four when she asked Jesus into her heart. Having her best friend around all the time is awesome.

Along with laughing with her best friends (AKA her siblings), she spends her time reading, writing, singing with her sisters and brother in their band The Long Family Singers, discussing theology with her friends, pondering the deep questions in life, and learning about people’s personalities.

She is grateful that her parents homeschooled her and that she is now able to help by teaching her two youngest siblings math (her least favorite subject).

An optimistic ENFP, Mac loves getting to know the people around her and learning everything she can. She has finished four drafts but will probably never edit them into something fit to be seen by the public eye. Her favorite part of novel writing is creating the characters. It’s like a little taste of what God must feel when he creates each one of us.

At the end of the day, she simply wants to glorify God and point each person she meets to Him.
