Authors
Joseph M. Berrellez and Christopher R. Settle are first cousins and authors/creators of
The Bird Knows More. Both are Southern California natives and currently reside near LA. Best friends since before they could speak, Joey and Chris have had an interest in creating fiction as long as they can remember. As children, they played together by creating complex characters and worlds, and they were very particular about the rules and logic of those worlds. As they became a bit older, their new outlet was online role-playing with like-minded people. As adults, they still crave to express their best imaginative ideas and have done so in The Bird Knows More.
Interesting fact: both authors were born left-handed.

Birth of a Book
The idea for The Bird Knows More came up during their high school years from what they credit to a combination of “nerdy” inspirations and plain old imagination, but was dropped less than halfway through when they decided that they didn’t have enough free time to complete it. After graduating high school, they were reminiscing about their abandoned project and decided to pick it back up to rewrite the story as adults. All-in-all, TBKM took over 7 years to complete.
