Sianyn Leigh
Founder/Author
Fantasy author Sianyn Leigh grew up reading old fairy tales at her grandmother's knee, instilling in her a passion for history, mythology, and the importance of storytelling. Obsessed with the rich pantheons, folklore, and superstitions across the world, she enjoys exploring the "what ifs" of life's many questions and weaving them into fanciful tales.
Infinitely more entertained by a rich fantasy life than reality, Sianyn has embarked upon a journey of sharing her musings with the world in the hopes others may also be entertained. She founded Chaos and Ink Books in early 2024 and hopes to provide tomes upon tomes of entertainment to readers for years to come.
​
Sianyn interned with a senior editor for two years assisting with clients and copywriting, and completed a writing course from the University of Queensland. She currently squeezes writing time and business operations around her day job in Medical Billing.
​
When not writing or working, you can find Sianyn binge-watching her favorite TV shows, entertaining two energetic dogs, and sleeping.
Robert E. Goodale
Senior Editor
​
Robert E. Goodale has written and edited fiction for small-market and independent publishers since 2015 under several different pen names.
A lifelong learner, his day job as a freelance copywriter and content writer lets him revel in the written word while helping businesses engage their audiences.
When not working or writing, he’s pursuing a Bachelor of the Arts in Philosophy, and you may trip across him in either Azeroth or Eorzea.
