Lorraine Berry

Lorraine Berry was born in England, raised in Seattle, and now lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York. She maintains a balance between writing and her family and career. "I write because I can`t not. There are strange people who live inside my head and they`ll be damned if they don`t get to have their say on paper. Sometimes they`re right pains in the ass, but their stories are never dull (I hope)."

Lorraine, a sports enthusiast, writes for several athletics publications including a new magazine for girls who play basketball. Check them out at gballmag.com

Viet Dinh

Viet Dinh lives in Denver, CO and for the moment. His previous work has been published in His 2: Brilliant New Fiction by Gay Men (ed. Drake) and Quickies: Short Short Stories on Gay Male Desire (ed. Johnstone). He thinks that you should be aware that the picture of him you see is very out-of-date. He is currently at work on whatever it is he works on at that time. He is very undisciplined. He most likely needs to be punished.

Eric Smiarowski

Works for an automotive parts supplier and attends community college full time. This is his first public acceptance. The poems presented her are from a manuscript entitled "Hometown Spreads Her Legs for Me." Although one might think poetry is a great therapy or at least publicizes personal incidents in the author's life, Eric Smiarowski says that, "The truth is, is that poetry is a habit. A very bad habit."
