Edmund Alexander Sims Chief Executive Officer, Writer Edmund Alexander Sims is the Chief Executive Officer of and a Frequent Contributor for Dope Enterprises Infinity - a Buffalo Grove, Illinois-based company that creates, produces, markets, and distributes literary and music entertainment. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the company and leading its two subsidiaries: Dope Enterprises and Def Mute Records. Edmund joined Dope Enterprises Infinity in 2009. When asked about writing, Edmund's first love, he often takes a modest tact in describing himself as merely a scribe - just the hand which guides the pencil across the paper or the fingers that type the text into the word processor. Nothing more. All credit is really due to the characters because they are the ones who truly drive these stories. They are the ones who are responsible for navigating the most pressing of situations, sorting out varying degrees of conflict, and seeking some semblance of resolution. He cannot take the credit for this because, ultimately, their stories deserve to be told, and it is his duty (as an author) to honor them. Prosaic cinematography and stream of consciousness are the literary tools that Edmund uses to create deeply immersing works which plunge readers completely into the middle of the action as well as the heads of the characters. With intricately woven story lines and a naturally diverse character set, he seeks to broaden the audience for reading while giving the bookworms a tantalizing new feast of refreshing literature. His bibliography includes the SpaceStation Colt and Domina series. Edmund is a 1999 graduate of Michigan State University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in General Business Administration.

Jason joined Dope Enterprises Infinity in 2011. Residing in Los Angeles, California, Jason volunteers for the good of the design profession - serving on the non-profit AIGA Los Angeles' Board of Directors. He enjoys hiking and speculative fiction and would like to inform as many people as possible that Prince's 1989 Batman soundtrack is a modern masterpiece.

DJ VoiceCrack Vice President, Composer For his time at Def Mute Records, DJ VoiceCrack is credited with having produced over 250 tracks (and growing). Long ago, he had set out to create an original Buffalo Grove Style - a suburban take on music that the artists could wear as a badge of creative pride and fans from all over could recognize and would respect. That style consisted of three components: Orchestral ambiance, thrash metal overlay, and devastating bass. DJ VoiceCrack is the well-respected backbone of the label earning him the right to drop the moniker of producer and take up the title of composer.

Thomas E. Moore Technical Editor Tom Moore is the answer to an author having to stop the flow of their writing in order to do technical research for a story. Once an adjunct scientific adviser to the company, he has solidified his place as its technical editor with his keen eye for the functionally specific. Tom joined Dope Enterprises Infinity in 2011. Drawing from a diverse technical background in science and engineering help Tom ensure that the hardest science fiction fans are appeased without deterring from the scope or depth of the story. His focus is on molecular nanotechnology and materials science. However, he is always ready to consider the limits of the possible, and a little beyond, in the interest of entertainment.

Bianca Childress Editor, Creative Director Bianca Childress is better known as 'The Tiebreaker'. She is responsible for overseeing the various internal wings which have major external-facing implications: Editing, logistics, and legal. Bianca joined Dope Enterprises Infinity in 2009. Contrary to what her official title would otherwise imply, Bianca is tasked with wearing the multiple hats which have nothing to do with product creativity but have everything to do with freeing up the creators for the purposes of them being able to remain creative so that they are not bogged down with the incredibly important areas that keep the company functioning smoothly behind the scenes. An invaluable asset, she keeps everybody focused on the way forward by clearing out the obstructions in the path.
