Helen E. H. Madden is a writer and graphic artist who quit her lucrative day job years ago to tell dirty stories for fun and profit. Her published works include Future Perfect: A Collection of Fantastic Erotica (published by Logical-Lust.com) and Demon By Day (published by Mojocastle Press). Her erotic stories have appeared in various anthologies, but lately Helen has been indulging her more sinister side with short stories like "Let Me Sleep" appearing in the "Chronicles of the Order" podcast.
Helen also draws The Adventures of Cynical Woman, a web comic about life as a stay-at-home mom and erotica writer. When she's not busily plundering ships for cargo, Valerie Griswold-Ford is a dark fantasy writer who dabbles in all sorts of things, from epic fantasy to horror to paranormal romance. Her first novel, Not Your Father's Horseman, released by Dragon Moon Press, made ForeWord Magazine's finalist list for the Best Fantasy novel of 2005 and started her popular Apocalypse Cycle.
She has also published several short stories in anthologies and podthologies. including Philippa Ballantine's Chronicles of the Order. Val is also an accomplished editor, having worked on two of Dragon Moon's Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy series, the anthology Rum and Runestones, and currently working on Spells and Swashbucklers. J. R. Blackwell is a writer and photographer. Her essay "Evidence of a Baker" was published in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in March 2006.
Her stories have been published by Escape Pod Magazine, Aoife's Kiss, Kaleidotrope, Bewildering Stories, Static Movement Magazine, EMG Magazine, HeavyGlow Magazine and in the first Podiobook anthology "Voices: New Media Fiction". She is one of the founding members of 365tomorrows.com which produces a new piece of science fiction daily. J.

Catherine Ford hails from Christchurch, New Zealand. She is a graduate of Whitireia Polytechnic's Diploma in Publishing, the only such course in New Zealand.
