Jacob Edwards was born in 1976 in Brisbane — Australia’s River City — and studied at the University of Queensland, graduating with a BA (English) and an MA (Ancient History). In addition to writing fiction that has been published in Australia, Canada and the USA, Jacob also edited #45 of the Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine (http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/). He lives in Brisbane with his wife and son.
William Wood lives with his wife and children in an old Shenandoah Valley farmhouse turned backwards to the road. He was born in South Carolina, grew up in the US Navy, and travelled the world until he ran into himself, somewhat painfully. His fiction has been cornered and captured with minimal loss of life in anthologies from House of Horror and Living Dead Press and is forthcoming from Library of the Living Dead, Black Matrix Publishing, and Lame Goat Press. Shorter works have found homes at Flash Me Magazine, Alienskin Magazine, Everyday Fiction and Everyday Weirdness. William seeks concision, happiness, and additional voices to keep company the others in his head.
Brandon Alspaugh is an active member of the SFWA and HWA whose work has been previously seen in publications such as Apex, Weird Tales, City Slab, and others. He is the only child he knows whose mother was called in by the teacher to discuss his ‘excessive reading’, and can only assume they’d rather he found a street corner somewhere to loiter on.
Jason Palmer enjoys traveling and relocates frequently. He has disinterestedly held many different jobs, both menial and professional. His fiction ranges from dark comedy to apocalyptic horror.

Desmond Warzel’s work has appeared, or is shortly forthcoming, in such publications as Daily Science Fiction, Abyss & Apex, Shroud, and Redstone Science Fiction. He published his first short story in 2007 and rapidly developed a worldwide cult following. To this day, he can’t walk down the street in Asia or Latin America, though his critics suggest this is because he resides in Pennsylvania and has no means of traveling to those places.
Matthew Johnson has published stories in Asimov’s Science Fiction, Fantasy Magazine, Strange Horizons and many other places. He recently published his first novel, Fall From Earth, with Bundoran Press (www.bundoranpress.com.)

JW Schnarr is the evil mastermind behind Northern Frights Publishing. He currently resides in Champion, Alberta Canada with his daughter and a grumpy turtle. When not writing, editing or publishing, he can be found scheming. And watching sports. A member of the HWA, he is the Editor of Shadows of the Emerald City and War of the Worlds: Frontlines. Look for his Short Fiction collection Things Falling Apart as well as his novel Alice and Dorothy, a story filled with lesbian sex, drugs, and mass murder. Both will be available in 2010. http://jwschnarr.blogspot.com
Douglas Hutcheson used to play with Shogun Warriors and therefore believes it would only be fair to return the favor. When that terrible turnabout comes, he wants it known that his fiction and poems appeared in publications including Treasure Chest, Luminary, Stillpoint, Analecta and Staccato.

Shadows of the Emerald City
Oz Awaits…
19 tales by some of today’s hottest Indie writers peeling back the emerald layers of the land of Oz and revealing the pink, bloody flesh beneath. Some of the people and places you may recognize from your childhood, but you won’t believe what happens to them.
Shadows do fall in the Emerald City, and where they are their darkest is where you will find the true terror of Oz.
“JW Schnarr hit it out of the park with this collection of macabre, dirty, perverse, corrupted stories. I have never paused while reading to say, “That is so f’d up!” so many times before while reading an anthology. And I meant in the nicest way possible. Though, nice is not a word to be used with this anthology—ever. 5/5”
