The Chorochronos Archives
- In her early teens, Susanne Hülsmann's father supplied her with science fiction novels, and her mother gave her a mechanical typewriter on which she bashed out her first stories. It should not surprise that she grew up to be a writer of speculative fiction. Having been dubbed the "wandering dictionary" by her English teacher, she decided to study the language and switched to English for both reading and writing. Susanne is an unashamed and unapologetic geek of many stripes, a lover of words and all things fantastic, and an Anglophile who now happily resides in the UK.
- Mike Adamson holds a Doctoral degree from Flinders University of South Australia. After early aspirations in art and writing, Mike returned to study and secured qualifications in marine biology and archaeology. Mike has been a university educator since 2006, is a passionate photographer, master-level hobbyist and journalist for international magazines. Visit his website at dream-craft.com/mikeadamson.

- Bill Hackenberger's many years working in data security have given him a view from the front passenger seat as we collide with accelerating technology. Along the way, he decided it would be fun to write stories that anticipate these future technological fender benders. Drawn to tales where technology propels us into the next blind curve, he frequently writes about artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robots run amuck. Find his published short stories online or in printed anthologies; others wait on his hard drive, gradually gaining sentience and developing their plans to take down the Internet. So, visit facebook.com/billhackenberger while you still can.
- R.C. Kjellstrand is a middle-aged queer lesbian living in southern Sweden. She makes her living as a designer and editor of a handful of small press magazines about fiber arts and physics.

As for spec fic in her own life, she was voted by her Idaho high school class to be the most likely to go live on the moon; when she was 20, she moved to Sweden so she guesses that's pretty close.
