  Angela Lam lives a double life. By day, she roams the streets of Northern California selling real estate, armed with a pager and voice mail. By night, she haunts the bookstores and cafes giving poetry and prose readings with the shadow of her son in the wings. She took time off in 1997 to attend a writer’s retreat at Hedgebrook in Washington State where she was able to indulge fully in a pampered bohemian lifestyle. She doesn’t think her two identities will ever merge; some people still know her by two different names.

  Cecily Schmidt is currently traveling the country with the man she loves, not searching for anything in particular, yet finding so much, trying to learn what it means to have acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa, cherishing clean water, drawing pictures and collecting words, staying in constant motion, checking out art therapy graduate programs and possible places to live when the time comes to be stationary again.

  Chelsea Cain spent her early childhood eating organic tomatoes off the vine on a commune in Iowa. The magic and hope of her girlhood continue to shape her. But she still hates carob.
