F.E. Lin
F.E. Lin is a medical professional working in the field of solid organ transplant. She has lived in both Europe and Asia while growing up as a military brat. Upon returning back to the States, she added alphabet soup to her name by obtaining three college degrees in biology and genetics. She worked as a scientist then jumped into medicine by returning to school to become a PA-C (Physician Assistant—Certified).

She recently rediscovered her childhood love of writing after viewing Demon Under Glass. The intriguing characters and the underlying scientific and medical concepts immediately sparked her imagination, dovetailing with her professional experience and background. Unpublished except for her Master’s thesis and scientific publications, this is her first attempt at creative fiction.

F. E. Lin lives in the heart of Texas with her husband and four feisty felines.

Jenny Saypaw
Jenny Saypaw is a Canadian immigrant who has bounced back and forth between that country’s English- and French-language cultures for the past 30 years. Travelling widely and engaging in a diverse set of professions, she has trained native teachers in remote First Nations villages in Canada’s far north, sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door in the south, worked as a graphics artist in the nation’s capitol, and wrote/edited technical documentation for the international high tech industry in the big cities. Writing fiction started out as a hobby, then became a driving force in her life as Jenny’s muses began to fuse her eclectic background with the vibrancy of today’s world-wide fannish literary explosion. Although Jenny’s stories have been appearing on a regular basis in amateur publications since 1997, two stories in Demon Spawn II were her first foray into the professional publishing industry, thanks to the inspiration of Deborah and Jon Cunningham’s wonderful characters from Demon Under Glass. To Jenny’s surprise, her first professional effort, "The Midnight Sun," placed in the Top Ten of the prestigious Preditors and Editors 2006 Short Story—Horror writers poll. Jenny continues to write in the Demon Under Glass universe, plus has expanded into other areas of supernatural fiction.

Len Richmond

D. L. Warner
D.L. Warner has been an aspiring writer for as long as she can remember. However, despite degrees in Journalism and Creative Writing, she did not pursue this profession seriously until ten years ago and after many years of working in Public Relations and public service. After the death of her mother, Patricia, Deborah decided that it was time to stop playing it safe and take a chance on her dreams. Fortunately, she had a man in her life crazy enough to think that was a good idea. Thus, Deborah and her husband, Jon Cunningham have been flying without a net in the wilds of Los Angeles for nearly ten years. Aside from a lot of experience in retail, they have a feature film, Demon Under Glass, to their credit and several projects in development.
