About
KITCHEN OVERLORD
Chris-Rachael Oseland is a freelance writer based in Austin, Texas. By day, she’s the technology and geek life reporter for The Austin Post. By night, she descends into her lair at the base of an extinct volcano, dons her apron and monocle, and subjects her minions to countless culinary experiments. You can enjoy her wibbly wobbly journey through space and time in Dining With The Doctor: The Unauthorzied Whovian Cookbook. If the future is too scary, you can alternately drink yourself into 19th century style oblivion with SteamDrunks: 101 Steampunk Cocktails and Mixed Drinks.
EDIBLE ILLUSTRATOR
Tom Gordon is a freelance illustrator and commercial artist based in Long Island, New York. His past projects have included the children’s book The Tails of Baghdad, the science fiction webcomic One Small Step, and production work on such films as Gentlemen Broncos and Atlas Shrugged Part I. Besides indulging the usual geek diet of SF conventions, writing cringe-inducing genre fiction and Lego RPGs, in his spare time he also hams it up as Wacky Uncle to assorted nieces and nephews and otherwise functions as a food dispensing unit/slave to numerous insatiable small animals.

[...] Chris-Rachael Oseland is a geek and tech writer by day for The Austin Post, and a geek culinary blogger by night. Oseland, author at Kitchen Overlord, was reintroduced to Doctor Who during the David Tennant years by her best friend, Anne, who insisted that she go back and watch from the beginning of the reboot. Being a freelance writer, and having independently published a book of steampunk cocktails SteamDrunks, she used Amazon’s CreateSpace to publish this second fan-focused cookbook. Independent publishing seemed to be the best route for this particular cookbook, as it allowed the book to be published within a year–in time for the 50th anniversary celebration instead of multiple years of back and forth with a publishing company. Oseland’s books are printed on demand, so while some authors have to pay a higher percentage per book to CreateSpace, there is less worry of running out of stock or being able to afford a first run. She recommends it as a great service for independent authors. [...]
