CORALIE HUGHES JENSEN

Contributor to the Nobody Anthology


Coralie first picked up her pen at the age of seven when she wrote her own version of the fall of Icarus and performed her first reading in front of her elementary school principal. But that was only the beginning. While spending her summers in a seventeen-foot trailer traveling all over North America, she experienced the adventures she would use to write seven novels and numerous short stories.


Two of Coralie’s short stories have won honorable mention awards in the Writer’s Digest 2000 Writing Competition, which attracted over 19,000 entries. Her fiction has appeared in Bibliophilos, QWF, Vermeer and Nostalgia and her book reviews in magazines and on web sites. Rembrandt and Company interviewed her as an “up and coming” writer in 2005. She is currently speaking in front of book clubs and attending signings at bookstores here and in Canada for her novel, Lety’s Gift, published by Lightning Rider Press, and her novel, Passup Point.


A graduate in English from University of California at Berkeley, Coralie has lived and worked in California, Oregon, The Netherlands, New Mexico, and Texas and has worked in Asia. She now lives with her husband and golden retriever in Massachusetts. Her web site can be found at:

BRENNA LYONS

Contributor to the Nobody Anthology

What do you get when you have a child writing seriously at the age of 7 and competing at it at the age of 11? A woman raised in an inner-city DMZ, weaned on too many nights of watching classic Chiller Theater until the wee hours of the morning with no parental guidance? Someone who is rumored to have picked locks to libraries to get her reads in and once assaulted a teacher? (Okay, he was a letch and deserved to eat that shoe.)

You end up with the Susan Lucci of e-publishing, the president of EPIC, and a driven, sleep-deprived author of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, straight genre through romance, dark romance, and erotica, poetry, and articles. You find a woman who narrowed her college degree choices based on a comment a teacher made about her either becoming the “perfect auditor or the perfect thief.” And, you probably find a woman who is rumored to have once incited a mutiny...by accident.

With degrees in accounting and computer programming, backgrounds in everything from teaching to clerking, tracking fraud suspects to working for the Air Force and the Navy as a civilian, it’s a strange irony that Brenna Lyons will become best known for her first love...writing. Brenna is an active member of EWAG, BroadUniverse, EPIC, WRW, and ERWA. She loves to talk to readers and can be reached via her site at:

A.E. MARTINEAU

Contributor to the Nobody Anthology

A.E. Martineau is a supreme multi-tasker living and loving in Salem, NH. A former teacher/program coordinator/presenter, she writes fiction, poetry, essays, sings and composes music, acts, directs and has done professional modeling. This is tenuously balanced between caring for her four children, crazed cat and loving husband. In her “spare time” she creates jewelry and artwork for her web-site:

www.mermaidisland.com

Creative expression in its various forms is her passion and her sanity. Between serving the muse of short-story inspiration, she is currently working on a paranormal romance novel and a one-woman multi-media show on the issue of rape response and recovery. Her greatest hope is to inspire and heal others with the gifts she has been given.

   

GREGORY L. NORRIS

Contributor to the Nobody Anthology

Growing up on a healthy diet of classic science fiction TV and Saturday afternoon creature double-features, Gregory L. Norris always knew he wanted to be a writer. 3,000 published short stories, feature articles, and books later, he still approaches that dream with passion and gusto, feeling more like fifteen than a man of forty-one. Norris, who has penned numerous features for national magazines, held down stints as a columnist for the Sci Fi Channel's official magazine, and even created two episodes of the popular Paramount series, STAR TREK: VOYAGER, spends his days writing from the compact seven-by-eleven home office of his very small antique bungalow house set on a very big plot of hilly pine forest, where he lives with his longtime partner Bruce and their step-cat, Chicken.

MELLISA SHERLIN

Contributor to the Nobody Anthology

Mellisa Sherlin has always thought writing was magic, and she didn't try her hand at the craft until her second grade teacher, Mrs. Hargraves taught the class how to properly punctuate dialoged with the challenge, "Now, write a conversation yourself." To the amazement of her teacher, Mellisa finished her homework that night. And while the other children turned in two or three scribbled sentences, Mellisa turned in a five page story base on her favorite book, she entitled Mr. Toad and Mr. Frog Go to the Store that she had painstakingly typed on her mother's manual type writer.

Decades on, Mellisa is still writing conversations and basking in the magical glow of those words dance across the screen of her traveled laptop computer and in print. Three years ago, she found and joined the highly talented, Essex Writer's and Artisan's Guild.
