Meredith Jaeger writes women’s fiction inspired by real life experiences. She is hard at work on her second novel, about a twenty-nine year old woman unable to embrace adulthood. Her first novel, The Trouble with Twenty-Two, follows the adventures of recent college graduates. She is still on the daunting quest to find an agent and she blogs at: thetroublewithtwentytwo.wordpress.com.
Hin Leung is a native of Hong Kong. He fulfilled his childhood fantasy of moving to San Francisco to find himself after graduating from Stanford, where he was nominated twice for the Boothe Prize for Excellence in Writing. He is currently living out more childhood fantasies as a visual arts student at Berkeley Extension, where he is concentrating on digital photography.
Laura Lucero loves to write, mostly for herself and her elementary school students, but has never been published or publicly read her work. She is an overachieving, stress-a-holic, who is in the maddening process of finishing her Master’s thesis on classroom defiance and aggression.
Mindela Ruby has published wee bits of fiction in FRiGG, BoundOff, Literary Mama and other journals. Her recently completed novel, Mosh It Up, is set in Oakland, California.
Jeff Zittrain is a Bay Area musician, bringing “heartfelt, lyrical, and occasionally incendiary” guitar playing to his original songs in Z-Trane Electric Band, and to Blue Oyster Cult interpretations inFlaming Telepaths. He had a writing gig for a few years with an online music magazine, penning a monthly column called Right Action, about the confluence of music, transcendence, and worldly responsibility. Those columns are all archived on his music website at http://www.jeffzittrain.com/rightaction.htm
