TERENCE HAWKINS was born during an undisclosed Eisenhower administration in Uniontown, PA, seat of the county immortalized as Fayette Nam in Phillipp Meyer's American Rust. After a remarkably undistinguished high school athletic career, the Educational Testing Service plucked him from Uniontown and dropped him, blinking and disoriented, in New Haven. There, through some series of administrative errors still the subject of scrutiny and dismay, he was permitted not only to attend but graduate from Yale University.
He spent six frigid beer-sodden years in Madison, Wisconsin, first studying, then practicing, law. He returned to New Haven in 1985, where he scratches out a living chasing ambulances and jacking up doctors' insurance rates. He has been married ten years now to Sharon Witt, whose tolerance is as unbounded as it is unfathomable.
His first novel, The Rage of Achilles, will be brought out in Fall 2009 by Casperian Books. His work has appeared in Pindeldyboz, Eclectica, Poor Mojo's Almanac(k), and Megaera. It has also been aired on Connecticut Public Radio. He is a frequent contributor to the New Haven Register. Some of his work can be found at his website, www.terencehawkins.net, where he also accepts comments in the form of lavish praise.

MICHAEL JAUCHEN is living in Texas for now. Some of his work has appeared in DIAGRAM, Quarter after Eight, Sentence, KNOCK, and Lamination Colony.

TIM JONES-YELVINGTON lives and writes in Chicago. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Annalemma, Smokelong Quarterly, Pank, Ampersand Review, Monkeybicycle, elimae, Wigleaf, Mud Luscious and others. He is the editor of a menopause-themed chapbook soon to be published by Bannock Street Books, an Idaho-based micropress.

GARY MOSHIMER lives near Lancaster, Pa. with his wife and two sons. He works in a hospital. His stories appear in Word Riot, Eclectica, Verbsap, Sybil's Garage 5, TQR, Boston Literary Magazine, Pequin, and others

EDWARD MULLANY lives in Northampton, MA with his wife, Anjali. His writing has appeared in Alaska Quarterly Review, New Ohio Review, Barn Owl Review, elimae, Beeswax, Wigleaf, Hobart, and other journals.

ALICE PETTWAY’s chapbook, Barbed Wire and Bedclothes, is forthcoming from Spire Press later this year. She is a former Lily Peter Fellow, Raymond L. Barnes Poetry Award Winner, and two-time Pushcart Prize Nominee and has published work in The Bitter Oleander, The Connecticut Review, Crab Creek Review, Di-Verse-City, Lullwater Review, The Mid-America Poetry Review, and others.
