ALLY BLUE is acknowledged as the Popess of Angst. She has a suggestively shaped hat and rides in a bulletproof bubble in parades. Her harem of manwhores does double duty as bodyguards and inspirational entertainment. Her favorite band is Radiohead, her favorite color is lime green, and her favorite way to waste a Saturday is to watch all three extended-version Lord of the Rings movies in a row. Her ultimate dream is to ditch the day job and support the family on manlove alone. She is not a hippie or a brain surgeon, no matter what her kids’ friends say.

BRIEN MICHAELS was born at an early age. In the time that he’s not writing, he enjoys reading, eating, and terrorizing young wood nymphs. After an altercation with a person in a mask, he fled to the hills and now lives in seclusion with the voices in his head. He currently writes dark fiction, erotic fiction, and dark erotic fiction for the creatures that have moved in under his bed. To learn more, please visit brienmichaels.com.
HEIDI BELLEAU was born and raised in small town New Brunswick, Canada, but now lives in the rugged oil-patch frontier of Northern BC with her husband and daughter. She has a degree in history from Simon Fraser University with a concentration in British and Irish studies; much of her work centered on popular culture, oral folklore, and sexuality. Her writing reflects everything she loves: diverse casts of characters, a sense of history and place, equal parts witty and filthy dialogue, the occasional mythological twist, and most of all, love—in all its weird and wonderful forms. To learn more, please visit heidibelleau.com.
KARI GREGG lives in the mountains of Wild and Wonderful West Virginia with her Wonderful husband and three very Wild children. When Kari’s not writing, she enjoys reading, coffee, zombie flicks, coffee, naked mud-wrestling (not really), and . . . coffee! To learn more, please visit karigregg.com.
LAYLAH HUNTER is a third-gendered butch queer who writes true stories about imaginary people in worlds that never were. Most of hir work deals with queer characters, erotic themes, and the search for happy endings in unfavorable circumstances. Laylah’s mild-mannered alter ego lives in Seattle, at the mercy of the requisite cats and cultivating the requisite caffeine habit, and dreams of a day when telling stories will pay all the bills. To learn more, please visit laylahhunter.com.
PETER HANSEN is a teacher, writer, and former spelling bee champion who lives a stone’s throw from the Erie Canal. He spends his days teaching young writers about the pathetic fallacy, his evenings mainlining iced tea, and his nights building a time machine in his basement. His roommate has yet to convince him that they do not actually have a basement. To learn more, please visit peterhansenfiction.weebly.com.
SAM SCHOOLER is an Ohio-based author, university student, journalist, Tumblr addict, and Oxford comma enthusiast. She loves queer romance in all its forms, and has found a home in writing both contemporary and speculative new adult stories with a focus on queer characters, trans* characters, mixed-orientation couples (or threesomes, or foursomes . . .), and badass ladies. Jeremy Renner played her in a movie once. For the full immersive experience, follow her on Twitter as @samschoolering and visit her at samschooler.com.
