Anna Yeatts is the Publisher of Flash Fiction Online. Since Flash Fiction Online is a free magazine, she spends a great deal of time over at Patreon, trying to drum up enough money to keep a free magazine in business. But she appreciates all the readers and supporters (including the world’s most amazing staff of editors and slush readers) who make FFO a reality every month. 

Anna writes in that nebulous overlap between genre and literary works where offbeat, surreal stories are born. Her short stories appear in Cicada, Daily Science Fiction, Mslexia, Drabblecast, PodCastle, Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, and Penumbra among other publications.

When not writing, Anna wrangles two wonderful children, two matching cats, and a German Shepherd who doesn’t believe in weekends. Follow her at Patreon.com or on YouTube.

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.

James Aquilone is an editor and writer, for fun and for profit. His fiction has appeared in Galaxy’s Edge, Weird Tales Magazine, and DarkFuse’s Horror d’oeuvres, among other publications. He has never owned a cellphone and hopes radio dramas make a comeback. Zombies don’t scare him. He lives in Staten Island, New York with his wife, Jennifer (who may or may not be the basis for the above story). Visit his website at jamesaquilone.com.

Alison McBain lives in Connecticut with her husband and two daughters. Her husband is a professional chef who started out his career in the industry as a dishwasher, and she drew the inspiration for this story from his experiences in the kitchen.

She has been published in SpeckLit and On the Premises, among others, and is a recent recipient of the Patricia McFarland Memorial Award from Flash Fiction Chronicles. When not writing, she draws all over the walls of her house with the enthusiastic help of her kids. You can find out more about forthcoming work and read her blog at alisonmcbain.com or follow her on Twitter @AlisonMcBain.

Ashe Thurman is a technical illustrator, graphic artist, and occasional costume designer who would much rather be a full time novelist. She’s had nonfiction published in the MENSA bulletin as well as research and scientific essays, but this is her first major fiction publication. You can find her at asheetc.worpress.com breaking down life into bite-sized chunks. She lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and her sword collection.
