Intrepid Horizons
- Kimber Camacho lives in California and has been married to the same wonderfully talented partner for a surprising number of years. She's been making up stories most of her life; from crayons on construction paper to word processing programs. A voracious reader, Kimber also enjoys a wide variety of music, and has dabbled in other artistic endeavors like drawing and sculpting. She regularly participates in writing-oriented AO3, Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, and Tumblr communities.
- Crystal Carroll lives in California where she writes technical documentation and fiction, and does her best to explore life. Her writing mixes beliefs from around the world and whatever speculative fiction that come to mind. Crystal can be found at crystal-carroll.com, and on Google+ and Facebook.
- Grace Sabella resides in Ohio where she's an accounting analyst by day and dog wrangler by night. She's passionate about science and learning and is always eager to incorporate new discoveries into her fiction. When she's not writing, Grace can be found training her two energetic dogs, enjoying homemade barbecue, arranging her collection of fountain pens, or sleeping under a layer of dog hair.
- A.R. Collins lives in England, and teaches English language and literature to small groups of teenagers. She has a bachelor's degree in literature and a master's in creative writing. Exposed to children's classics from a young age, she has always loved stories, and wanted to write her own before she even knew how to write. Her pipe dream is to write something to equal Roald Dahl.
- Delilah Night (delilahnight.com) is an American Expat living abroad in Singapore. She may not miss cold New England winters, but she misses Target. Her short stories can be found in Rogue Hearts, Coming Together: Keeping Warm, Coming Together: Strange Shifters, and Nine to Five Fantasies among others. Her first novella, Capturing the Moment, will be published by Totally Bound in early 2016--check her website for details.
- Johannes Toivo Svensson has been making up stories for almost as long as he has been reading them. His mind is drawn to the odd and strange and he has a love for things that shake our perceptions of the world. Alongside his day-job, as application support in an office, he free-lances as a literary consultant (which is like a consulting detective in almost no ways at all). He lives in Sweden with his wife and their two cats, at least one of which he suspects to be plotting against him.
- Clara Di Lena lives, writes, and raises her sons on the shores of Lake Michigan, in the Midwestern United States. Other than writing, her passions include reading, photography, and finding the best coffee houses on the planet. Clara draws inspiration from close relationships, and everyday random occurrences alike, as she finds human interaction infinitely fascinating. She suspects that she was an emperor penguin in a previous life.
- Brandon Nolta is a writer, editor, and professional curmudgeon living in the transportation-challenged wilds of north Idaho. After earning an MFA, he went slightly mad. Nothing much happened with that, so he gave it up and started working for respectable companies again, which he still does when he's not pounding away at the keyboard to the sweet strains of Miles Davis and the occasional burst of EDM. His fiction and poetry have appeared in Stupefying Stories, The Pedestal Magazine, Every Day Fiction, Perihelion, Strong Verse, and a cacophony of other publications. Iron and Smoke, which will be published by Montag Press in 2014, is his first novel; he has yet to admit to a second.
- G. Grim is a London-based librarian who still can't quite believe they pay her to play with rare books. After several years living in the imaginary world of re-enactment, she decided to start writing about people living in other imaginary worlds. Her flash fiction can also be found on 365 Tomorrows."
- Jennifer Silverwood was raised deep in the heart of Texas and has been spinning yarns a mile high since childhood. In her spare time she reads and writes and tries to sustain her wanderlust, whether it's the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania, the highlands of Ecuador or a road trip to the next town. Always on the lookout for her next adventure, in print or reality, she dreams of one day proving to the masses that everything really is better in Texas. She is the author of the Heaven's Edge series, Stay, Silver Hollow and Craving Beauty.
- Lynn Townsend is a geek, a dreamer and an inveterate punster. When not reading, writing, or editing, she can usually be found drinking coffee or killing video game villains. Lynn's interests include geek comedy music, romance novels, octopuses, and movies with more FX than plot. She lives in southeast Virginia with her dark overlord husband and a zombie-killing child. Her home is protected by lightsabers.
- Narrelle M. Harris writes crime, horror, fantasy, romance and erotica. Her books and novellas include Fly By Night, Showtime, Witch Honour and Witch Faith, Melbourne-based vampire books The Opposite of Life and Walking Shadows and an upcoming Holmes/Watson romance, The Adventure of the Colonial Boy (2016).Find out more at www.mortalwords.com.au
- Susanne Hülsmann – In her early teens, Susanne'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.
