Contributors Leslie Burmeister was raised in California and now lives on the east coast. Although an accomplished surfer and possessed of a flair for mixing martinis, she presently works in publishing. Kathryn Cramer grew up in Seattle. She is married and by the time this is published, should be the proud mother of a new daughter. She has won a World Fantasy Award for best anthology. Despite an early disappointment when her soccer career was scotched by a low-flying egg, L. Timmel Duchamp has had some success raising stories and essays in the wilds of Washington State. Nan Fry is the author of two collections of poetry: Say What I Am Called, a chapbook of riddles translated from Anglo-Saxon (Sibyl-Child Press) and Relearning the Dark (from Washington Writers Publishing House). The Poetry Society of America has installed one of her poems on posters in the transit systems of Washington, D.C., and Baltimore as part of its Poetry in Motion Program. Another poem is being carved into a bench that will be placed at a trolley stop in Bethesda, MD. She is chair of the Academic Studies Department of the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., where she teaches courses on children's literature, the environment, and wolves. Molly
Gloss, a fourth-generation Oregonian, lives in Portland,
OR. She is the author of four novels: Outside The Gates, The
Jump-Off Creek, The
Dazzle of Day, and Wild
Life, and more than two dozen short stories, essays, and
book reviews. Awards include the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award,
a Whiting Writers Award, the PEN Center West Fiction Prize, and
the James Tiptree, Jr. Award.
Wild Life was the Seattle Public Library/Washington Center
for the Book 2002 selection for "If All of Seattle Read the
Same Book." This story is also available on her website.
Theodora Goss dreams about the University. She wonders why corridors keep leading to staircases, staircases to corridors. She thinks she may be late for class, and what is she supposed to be teaching anyway? Find her, if you can, at theodoragoss.com. Minsoo Kang has lived in Korea, Austria, New Zealand, Iran, Brunei, Germany, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in European History at UCLA, writing his dissertation on the symbolic significance of the automaton in the Western imagination. His historical works and reviews have appeared in American Historical Review, Times Literary Supplement, Manoa, AZ, Rethinking History, Comitatus, and two essay collections. Christine Klingbiel teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, assists in magic shows, and models for a fantasy artist. She is currently working on a collection of magic related stories. Secrets may be revealed! Someone call FOX! This piece was first created for a flash fiction reading where the second to last line was assigned. David Moles has lived in six time zones on three continents and hopes some day to collect the whole set. In addition to LCRW, his work will also appear in Polyphony. His favorite color is blue and his favorite ape is the siamang (Hylobates syndactylus). He currently lives in Seattle. Sarah Monette is working on her doctoral thesis, watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and bracing herself for winter. Another of her short stories is in press with All Hallows: The Journal of the Ghost Story Society. Mark Rich is responsible for many pieces of art within this issue. Small Beer Press will publish his new chapbook, Foreigners and Other Faces, in 2003. Usually Benjamin Rosenbaum goes with his daughter to buy figs at the Migros Supermarkt down Gorenmattstrasse on Friday mornings. Aviva can ride on the back of the bicycle now and she is sooooo excited about that. But today, when he came to work in Zurich, there were figs for free in the cafeteria. He took two. Ben's stories can be found in F&SF, Strange Horizons, Vestal Review, and Harper's. John Rubins was once given an invisible dog on a leash as a birthday present by his fellow office workers. He thanked them. Other heroic acts of his have appeared in Surgery of Modern Warfare, The Southeast Review, American Journal of Print, and elimae. He lives in Vermont with two women and edits the online fiction monthly tatlinstower.com. William Smith is chasing a certain green fairy even as you read this. When you stop reading, he will stop chasing it. He likes that you are still reading. Smith lives in a 42-room mansion in northern Pennsylvania, where films are watched, made, and dissected. He has no website. Neil Williamson lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland. His short fiction has appeared in magazines such as Interzone and The Third Alternative, and a short, factual treatise on the subject of dental health will appear in the 2003 edition of that perennial medical favourite, The Thackery T.
