Don Sakers was launched the same month as Sputnik One, so it was perhaps inevitable that he should become a science fiction writer. A Navy brat by birth, he spent his childhood in such far-off lands as Japan, Scotland, Hawaii, and California. In California, rather like a latter-day Mowgli, he was raised by dogs.

As a writer and editor, he has explored the thoughts of sapient trees (The Leaves of October), brought ghosts to life (Carmen Miranda’s Ghost is Haunting Space Station Three, Baen 1989), and beaten the “Cold Equations” scenario (“The Cold Solution,”Analog 7/91, voted best short story of the year.)

Sakers is a member of the CoastLine SF Writers Group. He has taught sf-writing through Howard Community College.

In 2009, Don took up the position of book reviewer for Analog Science Ficiton & Fact, where he writes the “Reference Library” column in every issue.

In his day job, Don works for the Anne Arundel County Public Library. His actual job title — “Library Associate” — makes it sound like he gives lots of money to the Library, but in fact it’s the other way around.

Don lives at Meerkat Meade with his spouse, costumer Thomas Atkinson.

 

Zach Shephard lives in Enumclaw, Washington, where he writes fantasy, science fiction and horror stories.  He loves Roger Zelazny and Neil Gaiman, and will eat anything that’s at least 90% sugar, so long as the other 10% is not tomato based.  You can check him out atzachshephard.com, where you’ll probably have the distinction of being the site’s first visitor.  (There is no prize for this, but if there were, it probably wouldn’t be very good anyway.)

 

David Sklar‘s work has appeared in Space and TimeCabinet des Fées, and Paterson Literary Review. His Shadow of the Antlered Bird is available from Drollerie Press, and he is coediting the two-headed anthology Trafficking in Magic/Magicking in Traffic. David lives in New Jersey with his wife, kids, and cat. For more about him and his work, see his website.

 

 

Jeff Stehman lives with his wife in Northern Minnesota at what many call the End of the Road. He knows that’s a lie, because the road continues past his house, and vehicles do occasionally go by. He hasn’t been down the road though, because no vehicles ever come back, and he’s sure by now that parking must be a bear. He has been published in Intergalactic Medicine Show and Jim Baen’s Universe.

 

Ferrett Steinmetz is a writer who, through hard work, an uncommon amount of Rock Band, and a loving wife somehow got himself nominated for the Nebula in 2012. He’s published over twenty short stories since his rebirth in 2008, including Asimov’s (three times!), Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Shimmer. He lives in Cleveland with his beloved wife and a friendly ghost; you can see him blog about puns, politics, and polyamory at www.theferrett.com.

Charity Tahmaseb has slung corn on the cob for Green Giant and jumped out of airplanes (but not at the same time). She doesn’t think it’s a social stigma to eat alone at a restaurant and read a book. Her favorite city is London, but she loves living in Minnesota.

She spent twelve years as a Girl Scout and six in the Army; that she wore a green uniform for both may not be a coincidence. These days, she writes young adult fiction and works as a technical writer for a software company in St. Paul.

Her first novel, The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading (written with co-author Darcy Vance), is a YALSA 2012 Popular Paperback pick in the Get Your Geek On category.
