Holly enjoys writing nonsense and song parodies, reading fiction, interacting with her poodle, and dancing around the house to Grand Funk & Stevie Ray & The Tractors & Cake.

Tom Navratil

Tom Navratil, a former U.S. diplomat, is the author of Dog’s Breakfast, a satire of international intrigue.
That’s really all you need to know, but in an effort to discourage people from reading the longer bio accessible via the Read More link below, he enjoys playing tennis and soccer, but prefers to keep the focus on Dog’s Breakfast, which skewers power-hungry careerists, bloated military budgets, and feckless politicians.
Also, he illustrates many of his own pieces, which is kinda cute.

She’d spontaneously combust and turn to ash in the summer, so she hides under a rock. A lover of reading, painting badly, trying to beat the same video game (for five years now), and Scrabble victories, Elle dreams of becoming a crazy dog lady.
She writes essays, satire, poetry, articles, and fiction.

M Nathan Robinson

Welcome to the inflated bio of yet another unremarkable person who likes to write (and edit). Winner of the M. Nathan Robinson Award for Excellence 8 of the last 10 years, M. Nathan Robinson discovered late that he’d spent his life doing other things just to amass stories of human ridiculousness, mostly his own. Throughout his life and career, M. was accused of being too negative, ornery and altogether unpleasant to be around. But if you ask him, he’s quite convinced to only now be hitting his stride.
