Fantasist Enterprises is a family-owned-and-operated small business.

W. H. Horner, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief

William holds a BA in English and an MA in Writing Popular Fiction. A student of both mythology and story, he believes that powerful and engaging tales can be told in any medium that is available to the teller, but that the decision of medium intrinsically alters the telling of the story. As he delved into publishing, William discovered a passion for design, and has studied it ever since.

William enjoys working with authors, artists, and designers in all genres and media. A desire for discourse with creative individuals fuels his desire to be a freelance editor and designer.

A student of Tai Chi Chuan and Haidong Gumdo, a Korean sword art that is relatively new in the United States, William strives to maintain a balance between physical, spiritual, and mental disciplines in order to excel at all of them. His other interests include history and archeology. Eras and cultures of particular interest include World War II, Roman and Medieval Europe and Britain, as well as Egyptian and Mayan / Aztec cultures.

William has been known to enjoy singing karaoke on occasion. He is also the founder and director of The First Writes, a writing group based in Wilmington, DE.

Christina Stitt, Assistant Editor

Christina holds a BA in English from Penn State University and an MA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. When not reading manuscripts for possible acqusition or helping William make final edits to books, Christina is hard at work writing a YA novel and polishing her dark fantasy novel for adults.

Michelle Pitner, General Manager

Although her calling in life leans more towards business and numbers, Michelle has always enjoyed the arts, including fantasy literature. She is usually up late, reading over a pending FE publication, or when William allows her some downtime, she enjoys reading Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jacqueline Carey, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Patricia Briggs.

With over 5 years of advertising and business management experience, Michelle has quickly integrated herself into every aspect of FE’s operations.

Michelle and William are engaged to be married in December of 2009.

William H. Horner II, Accounting / Order Processing

A down-to-earth Science Graduate from Penn State University, Bill keeps things coming and going at Fantasist Enterprises. When not working, he enjoys reading, tinkering on his computer, and entertaining four spoiled house cats.

Audrey C. Horner, Office Support

Audrey has experience in both medical and industrial office management. She enjoys watching Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State. She attributes childhood tales of the Jersey Devil and growing up in a late-1890's nursing home for her interest in the paranormal.

Gabriel Omni Davis (aka ylbissop), Web Development and Support

Gabe was instrumental in the creation of the website for Veins, www.VeinsTheNovel.com, which demonstrates his skill at Flash programming. Gabe has also created most of the advertising banners on our "link to us" page, and has helped to maintain security on the FE Forum (not to mention the occasional email to William telling him to get on there and respond to a couple of posts). He is always ready with a quick answer when William is stumped on a web programming question, even if those answers sometimes fly right over William's head.

Somo the Cat, CFO (Chief Feline Officer)

“These records are all out of order, human! You're fired.”
