This issue�s who�s who.
Linda J. Dunn�s (�One Last Wish�) short stories have appeared in over 40 magazines, including Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Marion
Zimmer Bradley�s Fantasy Magazine, and anthologies. She is a computer specialist at a government agency. Her interests include knitting, gardening, and working out at the local gym five days a week. She has
three cats, two children, and one husband. She tells us that since she and her husband both work in the computer industry, their home has more electronic equipment and computers than some small businesses. Her
website is at https://www.lindajdunn.com.

Year�s Best Fantasy and Horror: Seventh Annual Collection. He was born on the 146th birthday of Charles Dickens in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He began writing eight years later and publishing eight years after that.
He�s married, has three kids, and has lived all over the world. He�s currently in the Midwest USA, researching and writing a novel of ancient sins, modern lies, and eternal truths.
Brian Plante�s (�Best Friends�) 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. A transplanted New Yorker,

Timons Esaias
(�The Right Thing�) has been a finalist for the British Science Fiction Award and has had five Rhysling Award (SF poetry) nominations. His stories have appeared several times in Interzone and his poems have appeared in places ranging from Asimov�s Science Fiction to Elysian
Fields Quarterly: The Literary Journal of Baseball. He says he is one of the many SF writers who have wisely married physicians. He also tells us that he reads far more than is really healthy, though he is
occasionally distracted by chess, baseball, historical wargames, aikido, Hittite lessons, or square-foot gardening. He lives in Pittsburgh and his website is at https://www.timonsesaias.com.
James Van Pelt�s (�Like a Film Gone Twice�) poetry, nonfiction and stories have appeared in numerous magazines, including Asimov�s Science Fiction and Analog Science Fiction and Fact,

not writing, he teaches high school and college English in Grand Junction, Colorado. He tells us that his wife and three sons have grown accustomed to his long, motionless moments hunched over his laptop, punctuated
by wild bursts of typing. His website is at https://www.sff.net/people/james.van.pelt.
Michael J. Jasper
(�Working the Game�) is from the Midwest USA, but he left in 1994 and hasn�t looked back since, though much of his writing is set there. He has sold short fiction to Asimov�s Science Fiction and has been
published in Writers of the Future Volume XVI, as well as other venues. He is working on a near-future novel, The Wannoshay Cycle, which is set in the Midwest. His website is at https://www.michaeljasper.net.
Greg Beatty�s (�What Kind of Future?�) nonfiction appears in Strange Horizons and TheNew York Review of Science Fiction fairly regularly, and he recently sold fiction to Ideomancer.com and the anthology Hour of Pain.
He also recently served as a judge for the Philip K. Dick Awards. Greg tells us he was most of the way through a Ph.D. in English at the University of Iowa when his advisors agreed that letting him go to Clarion
West 2000 (SF writers workshop) would be a good idea. Bad idea. He finished his dissertation, on serial killer novels, then gave up on traditional academia and returned to his original dream of writing fiction.
Maurizio Manzieri�s (�The Last Aquarium�) artwork has appeared numerous times on the covers of Interzone and The Magazine of Science
Fiction and Fantasy. He won the 2000 and 2002 Italia Award as best professional artist and the first annual Tangent Online Favorite Magazine Cover Poll in 1999. Currently, he is working on fantasy illustrations
for Shadowmarch (https://www.shadowmarch.com), a new fantasy epic by writer Tad Williams. His website is at https://www.manzieri.com.
