Kung Fu Factory

Chris La Tray is a rocker, a writer, and a wannabe adventurer. He will bodyslam you like a tectonic plate. He will hit you like a mule kicking, and not one of those coddled mules you see at tourist attractions pulling hay wagons. No, this is the kind of mule that spends its Fall dragging elk carcasses out of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, fighting off grizzly bears and wolf packs every step of the way. The kind that winters in a pasture unsheltered from a wind that would flay the skin from a lesser beast. The kind that spends its Spring and Summer in a surly mood, just looking for someone to kick. Someone like you, in fact.
La Tray's nonfiction writing has appeared in the Missoula Independent, Vintage Guitar magazine, World Explorer magazine and Crime Factory. His short fiction has appeared at Beat to a Pulp. It may appear in other places too if he’d just get around to submitting it.
Josh Reynolds (who isn't playing the game at ALL!):Joshua M. Reynolds is a freelance writer of moderate skill and exceptional confidence. He has written a bit, and some
of it was even published. For money. By real people. His work has appeared in anthologies such as Cthulhu Unbound 2, and in periodicals such as Innsmouth Free Press. Feel free to stop by his blog, [http://
joshuamreynolds.blogspot.com/] and cast aspersions on his
character.
Chad Eagleton has black belts in Taekwondo and Hapkido. He's studied Wing Chun, Shaolin-Do, 9 Animal Style Kung-Fu, Capoeira, and BJJ. He's bodyguarded strippers and lived in the ghetto next to drug dealers. He once avoided a bar fight with a drunk Marine by remembering that the door into the alley locked behind you and letting the Marine go first. But grammar makes him cry and his wife can buckle his knees with just a look.
Addam Duke used to be a bare-knuckle prize fighter and pugilist when he was a young man and has fought on the waterfronts of Boston, San Fransisco and New York. A devout hedonist and libertine this juggernaut of debauchery now resides in Melbourne, Australia.
The Nerd of Noir once went by Pete Dragovich, but changed his name after choreographing Frank Sinatra's disgraceful kung fu fight sequence in The Manchurian Candidate. Since the name change he has walked the snowy plains of Minnesota in search of redemption, one book review for Spinetingler Magazine at a time. He is also a regular contributor to Crime Factory and although he drinks comically large beers, the Nerd's more of a Drunken Masturbator than a Drunken Master.
Liam José punches love in its dumb face regularly with his words. Not because it’s done anything to him personally, but just so it doesn’t start nothin’.
He co-edits Crime Factory, and he wrote this goddamn article with his fire-breathing fists. He likes writing and violence and can be found kicking keyboards in Melbourne, Victoria.
