THE AUTHORS

Joe Procopio
Joe Procopio hopes to start trading on his own name very soon, because too many people know what Max Barry looks like these days. He's written for a number of online and offline publications from the late, lamented Smug to the fancy-pants Chicago Tribune and also for television (Hip Hop Nation, Undiscovered Genius). He's a novelist, a shredder, and a joker, but also a family man, just not in that horrible Nic Cage way.

Jael McHenry
Jael is tired of being stereotyped as just another novelist/poet/former English teacher/tour guide/"Jeopardy!" semifinalist/bellydancing editor-in-chief with an MFA who was once an overachieving oboe-playing alto newspaper editor valedictorian from Iowa. She was also captain of the football cheerleading squad. In the present day, she's the author of the debut novel SIMMER, coming in Spring 2011 from Simon & Schuster.

Adam Kraemer
A native of Elkins Park, PA, Adam Kraemer spends way too much of his time repeating "K-R-A-E..." He moved to New York City in 1998 and earned Master's in Journalism at NYU. He feels he is best known for saying the things no one is thinking, but afterwards wish they had been. He spends his free time wondering where all his free time goes and why he can never come up with a decent kicker for the ends of his articles.

Michelle Von Euw
Originally from Boston, Michelle is a writer, editor, instructor, obsessive sports fan, loud talker, quick laugher, and chances are, she watches more television than you do.

Mike Julianelle
Mike Julianelle is the kind of person who doesn't write bios.

Tracey Kelley
Tracey likes to shake things up and then take the lid off. She also likes to keep the peace, especially in a safe, fuzzy place. She is the owner of re: communications, mainly because she was caught running with scissors in the corporate world and, well, people started to talk.

Erik Lars Myers
An expert with pints, a master with yards, erik lars myers is a professional beer drinker. He has been drinking beer for various professional organizations and charity causes for years is pleased to be able to lend his ample beer gut for the good of others. his current pet projects include two websites (the people's regime and topfermented), growing his own hops, culturing yeast from the dregs of your bottle of beer and far, far too many video games.

Jason Gilmore
The Toledo, Ohio native has been published at ThaHipHop.com, native magazine and Gadfly. His feature-length screenplays have been recognized by the Sundance Screenwriters' Lab and the Texas Film Institute, while his coming of age novel, Somewhere Between Here and There, is currently being considered by several literary agents. A short film, How Shawn Parker Fell in Love, in which he wrote, directed and starred, premiered at the 2007 San Francisco Black Film Festival.

Jeffrey D. Walker
A practicing attorney and semi-professional musician, Walker writes for his own amusement, for the sake of opinion, to garner a couple of laughs, and to perhaps provoke a question or two, but otherwise, he doesn't think it'll amount to much.

Russ Carr
Russ is available for YOU! A qualified graphic designer, manager, art director, advisor, consultant, publisher, editor, writer and SO MUCH MORE wrapped up in an attractive mobile case.

Maigen Thomas
Maigen is simple. is smart. is wholesome. is skeevy. is spicy. is delicate. is better. is purer. is 100% more awesome than yesterday. She's traveling the world and writing about her experiences with life, love, food, travel and people. Mostly people. Because they're funny.

Alex B
An expert in coloring outside the lines, Alex B has a head for business, bod for sin, and weakness for ice cream during all seasons in the Big Apple. When not watching Bravo marathons, reading, or fantasizing about haute cuisine, she writes about TV, pop culture, and her favorite moments of mischief and whip cracks.

Michael Driscoll
Curious about everything, Michael plans to do it all. A ruffian by day and a lover by night he's managed to go where no one else has gone. His slight forgetfulness means he is curious about everything and plans to do it all. A ruffian by day and a lover by night he's managed...

Sarah Ficke
Sarah Ficke will make sport for you, and laugh at you in her turn. Suffering from a minor obsession.. ok, EXTREME obsession with books, she is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Literature at the University of North Carolina.

Joe Rodano
Married to esteemed Intrepid Media writer Michelle Von Euw. Die hard Washington DC area sports fan and living in a townhouse in Silver Spring, MD. Looking to get back into the sports/recreation field. In my free time I love to collect autographs and attend sporting events around the country.

Tim Lockwood
My life is an open book. A comic book, about a superhero with the amazing ability to make his nose hair grow. Oh, and someone's torn out the order form for the $2.99 X-ray specs.

Reem Al-Omari
Reem holds a BA in Journalism and is practicing it as an editor in chief of a newspaper in Denver. She loves animals and movies. Add books and traveling to the pile, and she's a really happy camper.

Robert Melos
Robert is the author of the novels Cool Mint Blue and Melba Ridge, and the soon to be released The Adventures of Homosexual Man and Lesbian Lad. In his non-writing time, when he's not studying the metaphysical or creating a tarot deck, he sells real estate in Middlesex County New Jersey, hangs out with his dog Zeus, and spends time at the Pride Center of New Jersey in Highland Park, NJ.

Kevin Sonney
Kevin Sonney - who, contrary to popular opinion was NOT raised by wolves - grew up in central North Carolina. He fell into the technology field by accident in 1991, when he gave up the wild and crazy lifestyle of an on-air AM radio DJ to become a mundane technical support monkey. In his spare time he rescues stray animals and plays video games with his two sons. His girlfriend, we're sad to say, helps him get past the really hard bits.

Steve Peha
Steve Peha is the President of Teaching That Makes Sense (www.ttms.org), an education consulting organization specializing in literacy, teacher training, and enterprise technology. He lives in Carrboro, NC with his wife Margot Lester, the most incredibly fantastic, amazingly wonderful, and supremely superlative human being he has ever known -- and her little dog, Ursa, too!

Dirk Cotton
Dirk Cotton is a retired executive of a Fortune 500 Internet company who loves to spend time with his family, fly fish, shoot sporting clays, attend college baseball games, sail, follow the Wildcats, and write. A computer programmer-cum-marketing executive-cum-financial planner who now wants to be a writer, he apparently can't decide what he wants to be when he grows up. He and his family moved to The Southern Part of Heaven in 2005 and couldn't be happier with that decision.

Joe Redden Tigan
Joe Redden Tigan's first novel does not have enough commas. It says so right there in the Foreword magazine review. Despite that, Waggle was bumped to iUniverse's Star Book program and is currently being considered for an Independent Publisher's Book Award.

Katherine L
When I grow up, I want to be; whoever Joss Whedon wants to be, when he grows up. My work includes screenplays, short stories, film/TV/music reviews and socio-political commentary. The last one is a fancy way of saying I like to shoot my mouth off on many topics. I excel at using $1.50 words. They gone up, thanks to inflation. Isn't our economy awesome?

Albert Garcia
Most comfortable on a bar stool, Albert Garcia grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of California and the University of London. He lives with his wife in Northern California, loves to travel and writes with a Pilot Q7.
