Consulting Editors
Nance Knauer spends far too much time googling for her muse and convincing her family and friends that writing IS a real job. She sees her life as a collection of short stories but has yet to discover the underlying theme. She has been published in Seven Seas Magazine, Dead Mule, Word Riot, The Sidewalk's End, and SmokeLong Quarterly.
Thomas White is an avid reader and book collector from Tennessee. He holds a BA in English with emphasis on 20th Century American Literature. He is new to the arena of Flash Fiction, but is working feverishly to be published in what he calls his latest obsession. He continues to struggle with his efforts to create the next great Appalachian novel. He and his partner recently purchased a 103-year-old home on the National Historic Register with hopes to open a Bed and Breakfast in the next year. The home rehabilitation process has taken time away from his writing, but his guilt over not writing on a daily basis should generate some memorable prose.
