This issue�s who�s who.
Brian Plante�s stories have appeared in numerous magazines, including Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Realms of Fantasy, and
anthologies. He is a past winner of the Writers of the Future contest. When not writing fiction, he makes a living by supporting computer systems for a major bank. He says that a few more sales to markets
like Future Orbits may eventually convince his wife (who is not an SF reader) that he really is a serious writer, but it seems inevitable that whenever she enters the room he has a game of solitaire on the
computer screen. A transplanted New Yorker, Brian now makes his home in the Charlotte, N.C., area with his wife and two daughters.
Daniel E. Blackston�s first fiction sale debuted as the cover story for the Spring 2001 issue of Talebones. He has published poems widely
in the small and Academic press and is currently working on a SF novel. He says he recently began to concentrate on genre fiction with the ambition of bringing back a romanticism to SF that he feels has decreased in
recent years. He lives with his wife, Michelle, and stepson, Dylan, both of whom are voracious readers.
Barton Paul Levenson�s fiction has appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley�s Fantasy Magazine, as well as other publications. He has published articles in The New York Review of Science Fiction.
He is married and has a degree in physics and more than seven years� experience in computer programming and therefore, he says, works as a typist.
Derryl Murphy�s stories have been published in Realms of Fantasy, On Spec, and other publications. He is a former editor with On Spec,
and he currently writes the market report column for the SFWA Bulletin. He has been nominated twice for Canada�s Aurora Award, once for fiction and once for reviews. After a short exile to the United States,
Derryl Murphy and his family (one wife, two small boys) have recently returned to Canada. One half of the dialogue in the opening segment of �Those Graves of Memory� is lifted, word for word, from his oldest boy,
Aidan.
James S. Dorr�s has more than 150 stories and novelettes in print, and his new collection, Strange Mistresses: Tales of Wonder and Romance,
was published last fall by Dark Regions Press. He is a past Anthony (mystery) and Darrell (fiction set in the U.S. Mid-South) finalist, winner of the Best of the Web 1998 award, and has been listed in The Year�s Best Fantasy and Horror eight of the last ten years.
T.W. �Ted� Stetson is the author of the novel Night Beasts. He has won the Florida Literary Arts Council award and the Lucy B. MacIntire
award from the Poetry Society of Georgia. Raised on Long Island, he graduated from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. He now lives in Oregon with his wife and son, and he is working on another novel.
Roderick S. MacDonald has recently published articles in Spaceflight, magazine of the British Interplanetary Society, and has one coming
out in Popular Astronomy later this year. He also is working on a book, Alien Psychology, which discusses the possibility of aliens visiting Earth.
Scott Grimando�s
artwork has appeared on numerous magazine and book covers. His accomplishments also include concept development for Hallmark Entertainment�s The Tenth Kingdom miniseries, as well as working for Nike, Calvin Klein, Nautica, and Panasonic.
