Jeanie Tomasko writes poems in the morning and loves entomologists. Well, one in particular. You can usually find her in a canoe, or asleep with a cat on her left shoulder.

Steve Tomasko enjoys all the usual things and some of the unusual ones. He grooves on writing about himself in the 3rd person and sometimes in the 6th dimension. He’s not very good at word counts, but hopes certain editors will overlook that deficiency.

Angie Werren writes poetry in a little house in Ohio. Her work has appeared before in RHP.  She usually runs out of things to say.
