C.R. Johnson
Leading a spotty life of misadventure, C. R. has degrees and practical experience in everything from electronics (she's a navy veteran) to healthcare; working rigs for over a decade as a medic, teaching for the state she lives in and training medics in both BLS and wilderness rescue techniques. As she aged, she chose to try out the cleaner, less insane angle of healthcare and got a degree as a respiratory therapist and learned that less insane and cleanliness are subjective. She encourages all to breathe deep and enjoy. She now writes and lives in her own head which she keeps in the land of the great white north..


Ronica Black
Ronica Black spends her free time writing works that move her, with the hope that they will move others as well. She is a firm believer in "that that does not kill you makes you stronger." Each step she takes in life is a journey meant to be experienced. Whether it be a smooth step paved with green grass, or a rocky one marred with boulders. She keeps stepping, keeps experiencing and keeps writing. She's an award winning author with four books currently published by Bold Strokes Books. In Too Deep, Deeper, Wild Abandon, and Hearts Aflame. She also has several short stories published with Bold Strokes Books in Stolen Moments, Lessons in Love and Road Games. She was also published in Ultimate Lesbian Erotica 2005. For more on Ronica please visit her website at www.ronicablack.com or visit her publisher’s website at www.boldstrokesbooks.com


Barbara L. Clanton
Barbara L. Clanton is a native New Yorker who left those "New York minutes" for the slower-paced palm-tree-filled life in Orlando, Florida. She currently teaches mathematics at a college preparatory school in the Orlando area. When she's not teaching, playing softball, tiling her floors, or evicting possums from the engine block of her RV, "Dr. Barb" plays bass guitar in a local band called The Flounders with her partner of eighteen years who plays the drums. Her ultimate dream is to one day snowbird between upstate New York and central Florida. Barb's writing credits include two young adult novels forthcoming from Regal Crest Enterprises, LLC. Out of Left Field: Marlee’s Story is due out in December, 2008 and Art for Art's Sake: Meredith's Story is due out in March, 2009. Visit her website at www.BLClanton.com.


Geonn Cannon
Geonn Cannon discovered the real life Squire's Isle in 2004 and has taken advantage of it's fictional counterpart ever since. He lives in Oklahoma with two cats, but dreams of living in the Pacific Northwest (Like they say in Spokane: Near Nature, Near Perfect). His first novel, On the Air, was published in 2007 and two other novels - Gemini and World on Fire - will join the list in late 2008 and early 2009 respectively.
