Frances Pauli
Frances Pauli writes speculative fiction, usually with touches of humor or romance, which means, of course, that she has trouble choosing sides.
She's always been a fan of things outside the box, odd, weird or unusual, and that trend follows through to her tales which feature aliens, fairies, and even, on occasion, an assortment of humans.
More information on her work and upcoming releases can be found on her website.

Voss Foster
Voss Foster lives in the middle of the Eastern Washington desert, where he writes science fiction and fantasy from inside a single-wide. He is the author of Tartaros, The Park, and The King Jester Trilogy (Zirkua Fantastic, The Jester Prince, and A Fool's War, coming in 2015). He has also written several short stories, featured in Apocrypha & Abstractions, Andromeda Spaceways In-Flight Magazine, and other various anthologies and publications. When he can be pried away from his keyboard, he enjoys singing, cooking, playing trombone, and belly dancing, though rarely all at the same time.
Jaleta Clegg
Jaleta Clegg does not live in Washington, although many days she wishes she did. She writes science fiction adventure, high fantasy, and silly horror. All eleven books in her space opera series, The Fall of the Altairan Empire, are available. Her latest release, Dark Dancer, is an elven steampunk fantasy. She's currently working on what she is sure will be a best-seller: her Master's thesis on measuring curiosity about astronomy. She's planning on adding zombies and werewolves to it and releasing it on Amazon next fall. Jaleta loves the strange and absurd, like deep-water squids and zucchini recipes and her children. Her collection of campy B-movies is rivaled only by her eclectic music collection and her list of crocheted abominations.

Siana Wineland
Siana Wineland lives in the beautiful, but soggy, Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. She spends much of her time shepherding her young children, or the goats and sheep she raises. Sometimes it’s hard to tell them apart on the farm, unless you hold out a vegetable. For updates on her writing please visit her website at sianawineland.com or follow her on Twitter.
Trish McCallan
Trish McCallan was born in Eugene, Oregon, and grew up in Washington State, where she began crafting stories at an early age. Her first books were illustrated in crayon, bound with red yarn, and sold for a nickel at her lemonade stand. Trish grew up to earn a bachelor’s degree in English literature with a concentration in creative writing from Western Washington University, taking jobs as a bookkeeper and human-resource specialist before quitting her day job to write full time. Forged in Fire came about after a marathon reading session, and a bottle of Nyquil that sparked a vivid dream. She lives in eastern Washington, with three golden retrievers and a cat that thinks it's a golden retriever.
R.J.J.Goude
Having put the writing process on hold to grow a family, R. J.J. Goude picked up the pen again in August of 2010 to relieve her brain of the replaying scenes wrecking havoc there. The love of writing was reborn and now she squeezes in time for it in her juggle of 5 children, household, church, teaching children with visual impairment and connecting with her best friend and husband. Roughly three years later she is still writing and her WIP, Theara: Dragonsblood Book One will soon be self published. Other works are in progress too. Look for updates here and on the blog or on her site.
T.R. Goodman
TR Goodman came into the world in the aftermath of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption. From an early age, he cloaked himself in stories of fantasy worlds, spaceships, superheroes, and dragons, though the mundanes assure him that Washington State hasn’t seen a dragon since at least the 1970′s. Now that he is grown, he is well within his rights to keep a steampunk dragon in the back yard. As long as it doesn’t eat all the fruit on the trees, everything is shiny.
Armed with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars (except the prequels, which he chooses to ignore), retro video games, and 1980′s cartoons, not to mention a bootleg sonic screwdriver he bought off a vagrant time lord sometime next Thursday, TR Goodman weaves words into stories of magic and adventure, with the occasional alien or spaceship thrown in to keep things interesting.
J. M. Scheirer
On a cold day on Hoth...er...in Eastern Pennsylvania, in the depth of night in the year of 1978, J.M. emerged into the world. She moved to Endor...er...Southern Maryland as a young child, where she began the process of creating worlds and stories about them. As an adult, she moved to Tatooine...er...Eastern Washington to spend the rest of her life with her soulmate and cat.
There's not enough time in the day for everything she tries to fit into her life. On any given day, you can find her reading and/or writing and/or playing video games and/or watching TV shows and movies and/or sewing and/or baking.
Dusty Jahns
When Dusty Jahns isn't riding the cutting edge of caffeination technology, he's sometimes writing things. Occasionally the two intersect in interesting ways.
