Sandra Barret
Sandra grew up in New England, where she spent more years than she cares to mention as a software programmer. She lives on a small sheep farm with her partner, two children, and more pets than are probably legal to own. She's an avid reader of SF, fantasy, and lesbian romance. Her books include the science fiction novel, Face of the Enemy, and the lesbian romance story, Lavender Secrets. You can find her short stories in the Best Lesbian Romance anthology and the upcoming speculative fiction anthology, Time Well Bent. Her website is at http://www.sandrabarret.com.

Sandra Gail Lambert
It took Sandra Gail Lambert long enough to be a writer. There were always clues--as a child, she read through entire libraries, you should see her bookmark collection, and then there was that decade she spent running a bookstore. Now, she’s in her fifties, and her writings have been published in the journals Breath and Shadow, Conte, and Triptych, the podcast WordKnot, and First Person Queer, an anthology from Arsenal Pulp Press. This piece, “Lemon on the Side,” was first published in Gertrude Issue 11. For more information, visit her website at http://www.sandralambert.com

Rrrose Carbinela
Of mixed Arab/Latino descent, late-blooming Rrrose finally accepted her sexuality after 50 trips around the sun, and she’s loving it. Twice graduated from A Mid-Atlantic University, once as a Spanish major and later as a Psych major, she is still crazy about languages. Her other interests include writing, reading, photography, motorcycling, shooting pool, dancing, and women, not necessarily in that order. She firmly believes that sunrise is worth waiting up for.
