Pamela Langley is an English Literature & Writing Major at Marylhurst University, headed for Grad School and the frustrations of trying to find a teaching job. She keeps busy by sifting through rejection letters from major publications and writing despite all that. She enjoys yoga and theater, her two dogs and her metaphorical cat, and taking long imaginary sunset walks on the beach with her infinitely patient husband.

Karen Searcy is currently pursuing an Interdisciplinary Studies degree at Marylhurst University. She lives happily with her daughter, her best friend Matt, a fluffy black cat, an albino ferret, two wily newts, and Beverly the chicken. She looks forward to her next visit to the seashore.
