William C. Burns, Jr.--William C. Burns, Jr. (Millennium Artist) phased into existence in Washington DC circa early 1950's putting him on the trailing edge to the beautiful people of the late sixties. Clearly he watched way too much Dobie Gillis and idolized Maynard (Shaggy from Scooby-Do for those under thirty). Bill is a strange confluence of degreed Electrical and Biomedical Engineer, graphic artist, actor, playwright, poet, father and husband, but his first love is poetry (OK, the kids are more important than poetry, but it runs a close second.)

You can send feedback on William's work to sunhawk@greenville.infi.net.

Christopher Calkins--Chris lives in Orange County, California and tries to find enough time to be a college radio DJ at Cal-State Long Beach, lead singer and bass player for the comedy-core band Hot Waffles, hold down a full time job as a supervisor in the corporate world, and getting ready for family life! Chris says, "I'm what they call in the industry a 'Triple-Threat.' I'm a musician, writer, actor, dancer...uh, how many is that? Well, I guess I'm not that good of a dancer." You can send feedback on Chris' work to hotwaffles@earthlink.net.

Kate Golding--Kate is a student of Internet Computing and writes in whatever spare time she can find. Her interests in writing (and reading) are mostly fantasy and science fiction with the odd dash of horror, and she's currently unpublished. "Judgement Day" is her first success - generally when she has time to write, she hasn't got any spare money to pay postage and such for submitting work, and when she has been earning money, she's been too busy to write, much less submit. "Judgement Day" won the 2nd Honour in the Science Fiction Writers of Earth competition (translation: 5th prize.) You can send feedback on Kate's work to s490696@student.gu.edu.au.

Paul Harrap--He is currently twenty-four years of age, born Stockport, England 1974, and has been resident in Sheffield, England since moving there to attend University in 1992.

John Howells--You can send feedback on John's work to feedback@strangepaths.com.

J.R. Kelly--J.R. says he will keep the biography simple enough, which is to say he is 25 years old and this story (Vague Traces) was written when he was seventeen under the confusing haze of LSD. He will leave it at that. You can send feedback on J.R.'s work to jamesonr@usa.net.

Jerry Kimbrough--Jerry says: "I'm 18 years old, and I just started college on August 28th, with a major in English and a minor in computer science, or something. I have the uncanny ability of starting works of almost monumental size, then somehow crashing my hard drive and losing them all. What can I say? It's just a skill I have. I'm an Aquarius, too. That's about it." You can send feedback on Jerry's work to gkimbrou@ycp.edu.

Janette Lee--You can send feedback on Janettes's work to jlee12@gte.net.

Cimmaron Parker--Cimmaron (a.k.a. Sarah Calkins, the author of this site) is a twenty-something Southern California resident who works for a major Internet company at the time. She spends most of her "free time" alternating between playing video games, working on various stories, comics and web pages, planning her upcoming wedding and throwing her cat off the keyboard. "Reflections" is the first story she has had published, although she's got lots of others in various states of being finished collecting virtual dust on her hard drive. You can send feedback on her work to feedback@strangepaths.com.

Damian Perry--Damian says..." I'm 24, write in my spare time when I'm not creating web pages, and as well as horror fiction, I write comedy and draw comics.

Geoffrey A. Priest--Geoff has a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art with High Honors from the University of Texas at Austin. Due to his fine art education he tries to stay very versatile with his work, preferring to tailor both his style and materials to the particular piece at hand. Presently he is very excited with the technical advances and experimental opportunities made possible by computers. Like many a struggling artist, Geoff longs to someday have a reputation as a skilled and respected freelance fantasy/sci-fi/horror/digital illustrator. Geoff's homepage is located at http://briareos.com/ and you can view more of his work at The Elfwood Art Gallery. You can send feedback on Geoffrey's work to feedback@strangepaths.com.

Dondi Ratliff--Dondi is 19 years old. She lives in the same town that contains her college, Tarleton State University. She's engaged to a wonderful man and will be getting married within a few years. She writes fantasy in her spare time, though she must admit to being somewhat more of an author of novels rather than a poet. She has a penchant for drawing unicorns, horses, and dragons, as well as some other animals, but humans aren't her forte and she doesn't consider herself an artist by a long shot. You can send feedback on Dondi's work to cheyhrad@hotmail.com.

Christina Walters--You can send feedback on Christina's work to cylinder@pacbell.net.
