Author Dylan Birtolo has contributed multiple short stories to Valdemar anthologies.
From Fantastic Fiction:
Dylan Birtolo is a writer, a gamer, and a professional sword-swinger. He still works a day job to pay for his passions, but his evenings are filled with shape shifters, mythological demons, and epic battles. He writes primarily fantasy. Not content to just write about fantastical situations, he joined an acting troop that focuses on stage combat called the Seattle Knights and has been in live performances as well as video shoots. He has had the honor of jousting multiple times, and yes, the armor is real - it weighs over 120 pounds.
