Featuring stories by Kristina Horner, Stephen Folkins, Jennifer Lee Swagert, Katrina Hamilton, Shay Lynam, Sunny Everson, and Maria Berejan.
Berejan, Maria: - Maria Berejan is an engineer by vocation and writer by passion. She religiously participates in National Novel Writing Month and is a municipal liaison for the Seattle NaNoWriMo region. She writes fantasy and mystery with a good serving of death and is co-founder of 84th Street Press, where she publishes anthologies with her writing group. When she's not writing or actively avoiding writing, she collects hobbies and dreams of inhabiting a rustic cabin in the mountains where she can farm pumpkins and potatoes and think of new ways to idealize writing while not actually writing. She lives with three cats, a bunch of plants, and a husband. Follow her on Twitter @mariaberejan or at mariaberejan.com.
Horner, Kristina: - Kristina Horner is best known as an internet personality and fifteen-time winner of National Novel Writing Month. You'd never know it, though, as she keeps every novel she's ever written hidden deep, deep within the depths of her hard drive. Instead of publishing novels, she runs a podcast about writing and has written for a number of tabletop RPGs, including Vampire: The Masquerade. Kristina lives and works out of her home in Seattle, Washington, where she enjoys a quieter life these days alongside her husband and young son. When she's not writing, she can be found playing board games, reading entirely too many books, and working on Minecraft at Microsoft. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter at @KristinaHorner.
Swagert, Jennifer Lee: - Jennifer Lee Swagert is a mapmaker by day and writer by night. She especially enjoys writing fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction that explores power structures and the moments that make us human. She began writing using the library computer after school and still has those stories on an old USB drive somewhere. These days, if she's not creating, she's most likely reading webtoons or congratulating her cats on fitting inside boxes. Her greatest accomplishment to date is having operated one of the foremost British soap opera fandom blogs. She's also a co-founder of 84th Street Press and a Seattle NaNoWriMo municipal liaison.
