  Kristi Buckel, Associate EditorKristi Buckel’s writing has appeared in a notebook hidden under her coffee table and pretty much nowhere else (yet).  She’s an MFA student with far too many YA & speculative fiction books for her own good and desperately hopes that her house will not collapse under the weight of her ever-growing collection.  Kristi hopes that eventually she will see her name on a book – and the free bound copy of her thesis doesn’t count.
Selene O'Rourke Selene O’Rourke, Associate EditorSelene O’Rourke lives in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, where she narrowly dodges avalanches of speculative fiction from her own library. She has studied mathematics, machines, music, magic, and the mind–and tries to use them to weave a yarn worthy of her mythological (and astronomical) namesake, which she hopes to visit someday.
C. Sän Inman Cory Skerry, Copy Editor and Associate Editor
Cory Skerry lives in Bellingham, WA, where he works at an upscale adult boutique and dreams of moving to a remote Alaskan island. He would need a non-fishing-based income, however, since he mostly just throws rocks into the water and yells, hoping to frighten the fish out. Perhaps someone will buy one of his off-the-wall novels or comics, but if that doesn’t pan out, he’s going to use a time machine to become a highwayman in the 1700s because Johnny Lee Miller made it look hot.

He’s honed his skills in product development and packaging design deep within the fantasy world of the adult novelty industry. He’s also traveled the wild wilderness of freelance design. When not exploring the deep hallowed halls of design, Matthew is writing epic Dungeons & Dragons adventures and building what he hopes to be a working TARDIS. Fingers crossed!

Ferrett Steinmetz Ferrett Steinmetz,WebmasterFerrett Steinmetz has been published in Asimov’s (twice!), Beneath Ceaseless Skies, GUD Magazine, Andromeda Spaceways InFlight Magazine, and (most happily of all) Shimmer, among others. He spent twenty years locked in an ugly writer-hibernation, getting nowhere, until the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop provided the cheat code to his secret writer-power. Later on, he picked up a magic mushroom boost at the Viable Paradise Workshop. He lives in Cleveland with his wife, a game of Rock Band, and a friendly ghost. He blogs entirely too much about his life at The Watchtower of Destruction.
