  David Reagan

Submissions Editor
  David lives in Austin, Texas where he enjoys a full slate of drinking, live music, outdoor activities, a day job driving tour boats on Town Lake, reading, writing, and as a direct corollary, slowly going insane. He has sold two stories, received a metric buttload of form rejects, and increasingly, a number of almost-but-not-quites. He lives with two roommates, a dog, a cat, and a deranged leprechaun who whispers iconoclastic ideology from the heating ducts while David is in REM sleep. Visit his website.
         
   
         
  Deb McDonnell

Submissions Editor
  Deb wastes energy getting irate at database systems which refuse to acknowledge the medial capital in her surname, and other such absurdities. A graduate of Clarion South 2005, she lives on the east coast of Australia where she has worked as an engineer, chemist, and technical writer. She holds sleep sacred above almost everything else.

  Kimberly Colley

Submissions Editor
  Kimberly—a former proofreader, flunky, stringer, reporter, and trial lawyer—now calls herself a writer. Her work has appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, The Armchair Aesthete, and The Harrow. She is currently embroiled in a codependent relationship with an abusive house. Understandably, she is interested in forming intimate relationships with plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and general handymen.
         
   
         
  Steve Castillet

Submissions Editor
  Steve believes the universe is a big joke and life’s journey is to seek one’s punchline; he writes to explore his own. He attended the 2002 session of Viable Paradise, and his first published story will appear in the anthology Bash Down the Door & Slice Open the Badguy. He writes in a trans-dimensional temple to Thoth. Though his wife and son rarely cross over, his dog is a frequent visitor; she bears a striking resemblance to the god.

    Aimee Poynter

Submissions Editor
  Aimee lives with her husband and two retired racing greyhounds in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, where her day job allows for a pseudonym, but is not as exciting as you might think. In her free time, she writes short stories and plays hesitant, off-tune melodies on the cello.
