Teresa Ford

(aka The Editor)

(aka Raven)

I enjoy writing prose and poems on a variety of fiction subjects with my favourite being vampires. I have had a few stories printed online and in the magazine Crimson which was produced by Thee Vampire Guild (no longer running). I created this zine to be able to enjoy the writing and artwork of others as well as to make contact with others who enjoy the same subjects as me.

Mike Phillips
Mike Phillips grew up on a small farm in West Michigan. In addition to hard work and responsibility, his father gave him a very special gift. Each year during summer vacation, the television, affectionately referred to as “The Idiot Box”, was turned off. This meant that when not tending sheep, mending fences, gardening, building furniture, chopping wood, or goofing off, Mike’s summers were spent reading. In memory of all the wonderful stories and things he didn’t understand at the time, Mike hopes that through his writing he can, in some small way, share this gift with others.

J. N. Thorpe

I write fantasy, sci-fi and horror, but also more literary fiction as well as poetry (sometimes). I'm a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft, whose stories inspired me to become a writer myself. I also enjoy sketching and painting, and play the bass guitar - sometimes quite well. If I ever become a rich and successful author, I'd like to build my own airship. Oh, and I'm 36, married and I live in Cambridge, in the UK, and both my cats are powerful sorcerers... http://jezthorpe.wordpress.com/
