Christian McKay Heidicker
Professor William Shivering lives in a house by the sea with three cats and a one-eyed raven named Glinda. When he’s not writing true stories about fake worlds, he enjoys walking the cliffs and conversing with the moon. He’s the president and founder of CASPR (Coalition for the Appreciation of Shades, Phantasms, and Revenants), a non-profit that provides assistance to disembodied peoples. Professor Shivering has an assistant named Christian McKay Heidicker, though he rarely if ever takes Christian’s writing suggestions. Mr. Shivering is rarely cold.
