Short Story: Three Monkeys
I'm 19 years old, a first year varsity student working towards a Bachelor of Arts Degree. I was born and currently reside in South Africa. If you choose to publish my short story it'll be my first recognised work *grin*, so as you now know I'm a virgin lamb in literary circles. However that doesnt me I'm ignorant to the game. I'm a member of a online writers guild known as Cyberscribers who have been guiding my efforts and have been tutoring me both in the business of writing and publishing.

Mert Guswiler (Send comments here)
Short Story: The Mountain
Mert (who seldom uses her last name unless she has to do so) is a native Ohioan currently ensconced in the Nevada desert. She has lived and worked all over the world, earning her living with words in a career that only can be described as eclectic. The proper tags for such eclecticism are print journalist in the US and abroad, instructor/trainer, California lawyer, and contract technical writer/editor/researcher for government and private industry.
The chain on which all of these "careers" hang is that of creative writer, with initial publication occurring at the age of 14 years. Since then, Mert has had a book of poems published as well as short stories and articles/essays, and has garnered awards both in the U.S. and abroad in print journalism and a few other categories.
Samples of her poetry and short stories can be found on various internet sites but to date she has not had time to create her own web page.
She has completed two books and is working on two others ("I seem to do things in twos"). Publication of the completed books (short synopsis of each follows) is her next step.
Websites displaying and/or noting her work include:
: (2 short stories/anthology selections)
Poetry Today Online: (3 poemsaccepted, [presumably for the Dec. '97 issue])
Shiba Hill - An Authors Cooperative (2 books: "All There Is;" "A Sock in the Eye")
World of Words (2 short stories/anthology selections in Dec. '97 issue)
Writers Page (2 short stories, 4 poems)
Newsgroups: misc.writing; alt.writing; rec.arts.poems; rec.arts.prose

Artwork: Digital Paintings
Background - John has been using photography as a basis for drawings and paintings since the early sixties. With the recent advent of computer graphics software, he has been able to combine these two interests in a single medium.
Digital technique - Photo-Paint is used almost exclusively, whether doing retouches or original work. A photo or video capture provides the basic shape, much like he would block in a subject on canvas. Splotches of color are then added by hand through the use of a touch pad. Rather than rely on programmed filters, he prefers to use a blending tool as a paint brush to bring the colors together and define the shapes into a whole, much like working wet on wet with oils.
Artist's statement - What makes good art? You either like it, or you don't.

Columnist: What's this whale watching about?
After 27 years -- Free Lolita!
I am a devoted animal lover and whale watcher. As such, I have traveled (more than once) to Alaska, Baja Mexico, New England, California, British Columbia, Quebec and New Brunswick, and the Caribean to observe the whales and wildlife. So the columns are written from personal experience and from daily literary and InterNet research.
I have gone through several careers in my lifetime -- vagabond bureacrat with the Feds, research and clinical psychologist, and computer scientist in geographic information systems. My formal education led to a Ph.D. in Psychology.
