Sue Lange, contributing editor, graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in biology and chemistry in the Eighties. She worked at the local nuke plant for six years in the chemistry department, got bored and moved to New York City to study drama and music. She started a blues rock band and toured throughout the eastern United States for eight or so years, recorded three CDs, and sold about three each. She quit the band and started writing science fiction. Her first novel, Tritcheon Hash, was published in 2003 and is available via the publisher (Metropolis Ink) or at Amazon.com. You can still get any of her CDs for free if you email her, send her your snail mail address, and flatter her shamelessly about any of her artistic endeavors. Contact Sue.

Marcia Barrett Nice, copy editor, hates writing bios. When she isn't cursing the very idea of trying to sum her life up in under 100 words, she works as a technical writer and writes as yet unpublishable science-fiction novels. She lives in Western Washington, with cat and husband. Contact Marci.

Carol Ullmann, associate editor, has a BA in creative writing and anthropology and an MA in archaeology. This was perfect preparation for her current career as a mother of a young'un and freelance writer and editor. She has published a few poems and won a Hopwood Award, as well as participated in the Genre Evolution Project at the University of Michigan. She lives in Michigan with her husband, son, two cats, and a few hardy houseplants.  Contact Carol.

Heather Whipple, webmaster, started reading science fiction by women 30 years ago and even considered writing a dissertation on the subject. From 1997-2000, she co-wrote the SF review column for Feminist Bookstore News. Contact Heather.
