Andy Henion (“Bad Cheetah”) likes sharp-tongued movie
sidekicks, burnt-orange automobiles and hominy from a can.
His fiction has appeared in Word Riot, Thieves Jargon, Pindeldyboz,

people and an animal.
B.J. Hollars (“The Naturalists”) is an instructor at the University

(Writer’s Digest Books, 2009). His website is bjhollars.com.
Trevor J. Houser (“On Castles”) was born in Oregon, but
since then has lived in other places, like Mexico, where he
drove a sort of gas truck. His writing has appeared in StoryQuarterly,
ZYZZYVA, and Pindeldyboz among others. Two
of his stories were nominated for the Pushcart Prize. He is
currently working on a novel about werewolves in colonial
times and how that affects the modern human condition. He
lives in San Francisco with his wife and daughter.
Svetlana Lavochkina (“Semolinian Equinox”) was born,
raised and educated in Eastern Ukraine, where the cities
steamed with important factories, where dandelions poked
through the concrete in some places. A decade ago, she
moved to Eastern Germany, where Leipzig teems with parks
and stucco nymphs call from the pink façades. Svetlana’s
short stories were published in Eclectica (shortlisted for Million
Writers’ Award 2010), The Literary Review, In Our
Words Anthology, Chapman, Textualities and are forthcoming
in Mad Hatters’ Review. Svetlana has been in unreciprocated
love with English since she was seven. She tries to
breathe with it, but this air is as thin as high on the mountain.
The words tease, bully and won’t obey.
