Jessica Federle, for a decade, edited technical writing from Japanese, Chinese, and Middle Eastern clients: engineering reports, medical studies, business proposals… this career spiraled into the madness that now enriches her (often ghost-riddled) prose and poetry. Born and raised in Kentucky, she followed the roots of her local folktales first to Ireland, where she had the privilege of joining Protestant and Catholic mothers, survivors of The Troubles, for a creative writing session. Her journey into Germany and German folklore came later. She earned her MA in 19th-century Romantic poetry at the University of Bristol, England. When not haunting library aisles, she travelled Europe with a handsome Peruvian; they’ve since married and flown off to South America. Her fiction has appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, and The Threepenny Review will publish her poetry in 2020.

Anchalee Panigabutra-Roberts ~ อัญชลี ปาณิกบุตร-โรเบิร์ตส์ (Joy ~ จอย) has her roots in Thailand. The U.S., mostly the Midwest, ended up being her home, after she came to the U.S. as an exchange student in 1984, with a three-year stint in Canada (2002–2005). It is still a mystery why she is drawn to this vast heartland with the extreme heat of the summer and the deep freeze of the winter. Perhaps it has to do with the beauty of the four seasons, the open space, and the fabulous sky. At this moment, she is a librarian at a university in the Midwest, but who knows what she will become. One thing she knows for certain is that she is very passionate about social justice and human rights. She believes that peace is easier than wars, and love is easier than hatred. Poetry and dance, especially Thai dance, have been her main creative forms. She lives with her husband and her daughter.
