We've always been drawn to the darker side of storytelling. Vincent fell for Poe at nine when he discovered his grandfather's collection, while Stella's imagination was shaped by the Labyrinth's masquerade scene and that one Goosebumps book about the phantom (The Phantom of the Auditorium by R.L. Stine).

We met each other when Stella was twelve and Vincent was fourteen, but life took us in separate directions. When we found each other again years later, everything clicked when Vincent quoted Annabel Lee in conversation, and Stella effortlessly recited the next line. That sent Vincent’s little heart pounding so hard that anyone could have heard it through floorboards.

Between D&D campaigns (where Stella's chaotic neutral characters regularly derail Vincent's careful plotting) and card games (where Vincent once sabotaged Stella's hand of spoons by announcing the exact cards she needed), we built both a partnership and a world we couldn't stop exploring.

More than a decade later, we share our life in Arkansas with two wonderful and chaotic kids, three precious, friends-for-life pups, and two stubborn, yet cuddly, cats. We are always searching for our next adventure until we build our eternal home along the Night's Plutonian shore.
