| Kelly Louthan started writing when she was 6 years old as a form of therapy due to an extremem speech impediment. Since they thought she was stupid, it shocked the hell out of them, you could say. Since then she has gotten over her speech impediment and has learned to deal with A.D.D. Kelly has gone through two bad marriages, and has three daughters. One of them has autism. She remarried, and had three more children. Right now she is an assistant cook in a resturant, and hopes to go to colledge one day so she can become a real writer. |
| About the Authors |
| Laura Dewey started writing seriously when she was 15. She started writing poetry when, in her high school drama class, they had to write a poem based on a color. She wrote a basic poem on that, then, for the fun of it, expanded on it. From then on she was hooked. That was a little over a year ago. She is now 17, and a published poet. Her published poems are Purple Darkness and A Simple Choice. You can see more of her poetry on Poetry.com |
| Liana Smith is 17. From the Phillippine Islands, she's been writing since she was very little. She often says that she's loath to keep her head in the real world, as it's infinitely more amusing to make up her own alternate realities. She gets much inspiration from music, surroundings, and anthropopathic meanderings (verbal and mental). |

| Mary Burger is 19 and has been writing ever since she was 6. She did not become a major writer until she was 13. She started writing stories and poetry. Mary also admires those other writers that she has read. Reading helps her escape when she needs a break. She wants to be able to do that for other people, too. Writing also helps her through all the bad times she have had. And it helps her express her feelings. Mary's stories seem to tell themselves. When she writes, she doesn't know the ending until it comes. She doesn't even understand some of her stories. They have lives of their own. But it always makes her have a feeling of accomplishment when she complete a story or poem. Mary hopes one day to be able to become a writer. |
| 16-year-old Danielle Egan shares an apartment in New York City with her friends Brian Iverson, Ian McKinney, and Noriko Saley (sound familiar? ;o). She has been an aspiring author since the age of 8, and also enjoys drawing and acting. She and Ian were engaged, but were forced to break it off in order for Ian to take some time to care for his mother, who is currently dying of four different kinds of cancer. Her other hobbies include going to movies, dancing, reading, web design, and making amateur movies with her friends. She has not, as of yet, had any of her work published, but she hopes to in the near future. |
| Cassandra Anne Morrison was born Gregory Gilbert Chapman more than half a century ago in Chillicothe, Ohio which made no sense to her so she soon changed all THAT. Leaving Ohio as soon as possible and her male gender not long after that. Nothing much of interest happened to her for the next 30 years or so. Her first published story appeared in the April, 1977 edition of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. In 1992 she won one hundred dollars for her poem Wardog/Warlord from the Golden Poets Society. That was nine years ago. She has had many torrid love affairs...none of which is she willing to talk about except when she is in a state of total inebriation, at which times you can't shut her up. She has red hair, turquoise eyes, is unmarried, and lives in Las Vegas, Nevada where she alternates her efforts between the HIV/AIDS Community Planning Group of Southern Nevada and Transgender Support & Advocacy, Nevada. Rob is 19 and started writing at age 16. It was a way for him to cope with the major changes happening in his own life. He stopped after 14 months and went without writing a word until about the end of his junior year and into his senior year. Of all the forms of writing that Rob does his favorite and best are his poetry, (both structured and freestyle,) because it reflects who an what Rob is really about. Most of it is dark and dismal which is strange because Rob is not like that at all. In fact he is just the opposite but Rob writes the darker stuff easier. He has poems on poetry.com and would like to compile all his poems into book form. |
