Barbara Davies
Barbara Davies was born in Birmingham, England, twenty minutes after her twin sister. She grew up in the Midlands, managed to scrape a BA from York University, worked in computing in Surrey, then moved to Gloucestershire where she’s now a writer and a book reviewer for Starburst.

Barbara published her first short story in 1994. Since then, more than forty of her stories have appeared in various genre magazines, including Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine, Khimairal Ink, Neo-Opsis, and nanobison, and in the anthologies Ideomancer Unbound, Crossings, and F/SF Vol. 1.

The readers of Kimota gave one of her stories their 1999 Best Story Award.

Catherine Friend
Catherine Friend is the author of The Spanish Pearl, The Crown of Valencia, A Pirate’s Heart, The Compassionate Carnivore, Hit By a Farm, and The Perfect Nest. She raises sheep in southeastern Minnesota with her partner Melissa and writes fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books. They have three dogs, three barn cats, and no TV reception, which means their long winter nights are spent cozied up by the wood stove, reading and drinking wine. It’s a rough life.

Gerri Hill
Gerri Hill began writing lesbian romance as a way to amuse herself while snowed in one winter in the mountains of Colorado, and hasn’t looked back.

Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. Many more romances have followed, with the occasionaly murder mystery in the mix.

Her awards include the 2007 GCLS winners, Behind the Pine Curtain and The Killing Room, the GCLS finalist Hunter's Way and the Lambda finalist In the Name of the Father.

Gerri’s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings.

When she isn’t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends.

Gerri’s favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists that she doesn’t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise.

Andi Marquette

In 1993 she fell into editing and has been obsessed with words ever since. She completed her doctorate and kept working as an editor in academic publishing until 2004 when she ventured east of the Mississippi and lived in Nashville, TN, for a while.
