Edward Buskirk Ed has written professionally since leaving the architectural engineering world in a rush of inspiration several years ago. Fearing another such rush, he has given up drinking. His short story credits range from confession to crime-thriller, and his erotic fiction has appeared, under various pseudonyms, in numerous adult-oriented publications. He lives in Michigan, and has—at age forty-six—finally traded in his lifelong dream of playing shortstop for the Detroit Tigers for that of being their ace third-base coach. Elizabeth Engstrom Elizabeth grew up in Illinois (with her father), and Utah (with her mother). After school, she ventured to Honolulu. After eight years on Oahu, she moved to Maui and opened an advertising agency. One husband, two children and five years later, she sold the agency to try her hand at her lifelong dream, full time fiction writing. With the help of science fiction great, Theodore Sturgeon, her first book was published in 1982. Over sixty of Engstrom's short stories, articles and essays are in print. She has written six books: When Darkness Loves Us, Black Ambrosia, Nightmare Flower, Lizard Wine, Lizzie Borden and the soon-to-be-released Monochrome Love. She is a sought-after teacher, panelist and keynote speaker at writers' conferences and conventions around the world. Now living in Eugene, Oregon, she teaches classes in novel writing and holds workshops for women on writing erotica. Elizabeth is always working on her next novel. She can be found on the web at:
Miss Grillo and CasualDress CasualDress and Miss Grillo met on the dance floor three years ago. For over two years they remained dance partners and friends. During 1997 the two went their separate ways, with each other's addresses in tote. CasualDress remained on the East Coast and Miss Grillo relocated to Halloween-by-the-Bay (San Francisco). During the first part of the year the two shared hot and steamy letters, declaring their love and honoring the lust between them. They consummated their passion in San Francisco and realized the potential of their love. CasualDress spent most of 1997 fly-fishing in Colorado, while Miss Grillo remained in California indulging in hot springs and dance. The two met again in New Mexico, in September of that year, and were married in the desert with the cosmos as their witness. Currently they are living in a small cottage in the country outside Boston. CasualDress has a corporate job and daydreams about fly-fishing. Miss Grillo works for a women's health organization, teaches dance and does astrology readings. Their stories of erotica are born of the passion between the two, originating from their long spells apart. Michael Hemmingson Michael has published six books:
Hemmingson's short exhibitionist novel, The Dress, will be published in Mammoth Book of New Erotica 3 this spring. His spicy play, Erotic Scenes in a Cheap Motel Room, may still be playing at the Fritz Theater in San Diego. Patricia Hickerson Patricia's life has run the gamut from tap dancing in Warner Brothers' kiddie shorts in the 1930s to writing monthly columns for Penthouse Letters and San Francisco Bay Area Pleasure Guide. There was also poetry, newspaper reporting and copy editing as well as porn—not to be confused with the present, entirely different genre known as erotica. Born in New York City, she spent forty years as a California resident until returning East to live with her high school sweetheart.

He gets his email at: [email protected] Peter Quevera Peter lives in San Francisco, a city with an impossibly blue sky and many anonymous inhabitants. Several stories in Quevera's Variations were inspired by people he observed during walks he took in the city. His favorite pastime is pruning trees--an excellent antidote to writing. Writing requires the sustained use of the imagination, but if you climb too far onto a branch, if you stretch too far and forget the all-important here and now, the branch snaps and you fall out of the tree. Jan Richman Jan, author of Because the Brain Can Be Talked Into Anything from LSU Press, 1995, is a poet and fiction writer living in San Francisco. She writes a weekly column called lit up on local literary events for The Gate (www.sfgate.com) and is obsessed with 8-ball and girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes.
