Evolutions Staff Appearing in this Issue:

Darwin A. Garrison, Editor
Bio: Darwin A. Garrison is a professionally published short-story author and editor of the new speculative fiction webzine, Darwin's Evolutions. By dint of his disconnect with reality and the miracle of the "infinite typing monkeys" theory, he has managed to produce three short science fiction and urban fantasy stories of sufficient quality for sale to DAW/Tekno anthologies. He also scripts the web comic Technosaurs and recently placed second in the 2008 Jim Baen Memorial Writing contest with his story Skipping Stones.

Kate Paulk, Lead Associate Editor and Web Goddess
Bio: Kate Paulk pretends to be a mild mannered software quality analyst by day and allows her true evil author nature through for the short time between finishing with the day job and falling over. She lives in semi-rural Pennsylvania with her husband, two bossy cats, and her imagination. She often writes humorous short fiction and non-fiction. Trust us, you don't want to see what happens when she isn't being funny. Her latest short story sale "Night Shifted" is in DAW's anthology, "Better Off Undead".

Anna Fehr, Artist
Bio: Anna Fehr currently resides in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. She began her artistic endeavors at the age of three under the guidance of her father, whose influence can still be felt in her work to this day. Later, she branched off on her own, seeking out tutorials and books on the internet to further her capabilities.

"I guess," she says, "one could say art is my little obsession."

Her sketchbook is pretty much glued to her hand. Any free time she has, she's slapping down a few sketches.

Her formal education was at the Art Institute of Vancouver, focusing primarily on Animation Art and Design.

Morgen Kirby, Author
Bio: Morgen Kirby aspires to be eccentric, but isn’t so sure about the growing- up part of it. She lives with two children, a husband, and various other pets (cats, dogs, and rats mostly, though there is the occasional human in there.) The rest is a clever disguise wherein she appears to be well- adjusted and wise, and her much-beloved friends humor her by pretending to believe it.

Jennifer Miller, Artist
Bio: Jennifer Miller's artistic history started as a toddler, a crayon in one hand and dragons on her mind. Since then she has gotten a good bit taller, and has acquired a great many more crayons. Her home is in the foothills of western NY State where she spent most of her childhood roaming around the woods, playing with birds and lizards, and doing her best to draw them. She is immensely interested in the natural world around her and draws great inspiration from it. Currently she lives with her husband, four parrots, and a myriad of tropical fish. She still takes time to roam the woods whenever possible. She has a particular fascination with flight and flighted creatures, and they are a reoccurring theme in her pieces.
