Suzanne Vincent is the editor-in-chief of Flash Fiction Online. That’s what people think anyway. Actually, she’s really a pretty ordinary middle-aged woman packing a few extra pounds and a few more gray hairs than she’s comfortable with. As a writer, she leans toward the fantasy spectrum, though much of what she writes is difficult to classify. Slipstream? Isn’t that where we stick stories when we just can’t figure out where else they go? Suzanne’s first professional publication was right here at FFO, published before she joined the staff: “I Speak the Master’s Will,” — a story she’s still very proud of. While she doesn’t actually have time to blog anymore, she once did. You can still read her ancient posts on writing at The Slushpile Avalanche. Suzanne keeps a house full of kids (3), a husband (1), and pets (too many to number) in Utah, USA. Yes, she’s a Mormon. No, there isn’t another wife. Mormons haven’t actually practiced polygamy since the 1890s. Too bad. She’d love to have another woman around to wash dishes and do laundry.

David Barber lives anonymously in the UK. He used to be a scientist, though he is retired now and writing stories. He is a puzzle to his friends.

Charity Tahmaseb has slung corn on the cob for Green Giant and jumped out of airplanes (but not at the same time). She’s worn both Girl Scout and Army green. These days, she writes fiction and works as a technical writer. Her short speculative fiction has appeared in Deep Magic, Escape Pod, and Cicada.

D. T. Friedman’s work has been published in venues such as Shimmer Magazine and the Dark Faith Anthology, as well as a previous appearance in Flash Fiction Online. In her other life, she is a doctor of Internal Medicine with a focus on urban underserved populations, and is about to take a fellowship position in Palliative Medicine. She also occasionally provides medical scenario advice to be used in fictional contexts; she has consulted with over two dozen authors independently and through the Science and Entertainment Exchange, and recently assisted with an episode of the TV show, Castle. She is currently doing research on sickle cell disease, writing a novel, and taking some classes towards an MBA degree. She lives with a neurotic calico named Spoon Avocado, which is her brother’s fault. She is a member of the Codex writers’ group, and is the newest member of the Altered Fluid writers’ group.  Sometimes she juggles fire.
