V.L. Andromeda, the creative force behind Antimatter Publishing House, LLC, is a romantic fantasy author who weaves intricate tales that explore the interplay between love, self-acceptance, and destiny. By day, she navigates the complexities of Drug Court case management, but by night, she dives into her passions for writing and editing.

In her debut novel, "Hand of the Sinners," readers are immersed in a mysterious and thrilling journey complete with romance, queer representation, and disability visibility. Her other works include short story collections set in the same world as her debut novel, and a holiday horror anthology flash-fiction piece titled "Hecatomb."

Ajitpaul Mangat

Ajitpaul Mangat

Dr. Ajitpaul Mangat is an Assistant Professor of English at Niagara University. His teaching and research focus on disability and race in contemporary American literature and art.

Dr. Mangat's current book project, entitled "Forms of Affiliation: Disability Life Writing and the Socialization of Care," shows how disability life writing imagines the socialization of care through the formalization of networked affiliations that counter the neoliberal privatization of care within the enclosure of the family.

Dr. Mangat’s work is forthcoming or published in the edited collections, Care and Disability and Neurodiversity on Television, as well as the Journal of Popular Music Studies and Americas: A Hemispheric Music Journal. He is the co-editor of an upcoming special issue of the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies that offers a reassessment of David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder’s concept of “narrative prosthesis.” He is also presently a contributor-in-residence for Synapsis: A Health Humanities Journal, where he publishes criticism at the intersection of medicine and culture.

Dr. Mangat serves as an advisor for Niagara University's Vincentian Social Justice Minor, running workshops on how faculty can make their teaching more accessible and diverse; he is also a member of the advisory committee for “Communities of Care,” an interdisciplinary research project (at the University at Buffalo) that seeks to better understand and address issues faced by caregivers and those with disabilities.
