Debbie began concocting stories before she entered Kindergarten
and started writing them down in sixth grade. A well-meaning, mid-western family convinced the usually stubborn redhead to
pursue a practical career and do ‘the writing stuff’ in her spare time. Once again, her stories were being created
but not written down. Two decades of working at practical jobs convinced Debbie to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard,
with an eye to leaving Corporate America and writing full time.
Debbie’s still working full-time at a day job, but has published
several short stories and articles about writing. The screenplay based on her
short story Armageddon: The Musical is complete. A first novel is in the works. An amber-eyed black cat shares Debbie’s home in Colorado Springs. editor@deborahlmeldrum.com

Kimberly Brown, flash fiction Editor, is a part-time newspaper
writer by day, working for The Northeast Georgian, a small bi-weekly community newspaper. However, fiction is her first love
and she's been writing it off and on since high school (a LONG time ago).
Her very first published story was
a flash piece in Murderous Intent Mystery Magazine. Other flashes have appeared in Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine, Flashquake
and Flashshot. She has had full-length stories appear in Crime and Suspense, The Dark Krypt, Gatto Publishing, and Silver
Moon Magazine, among others. She had many twist stories published in the good old days of mysterynet.com. Her nonfiction has
appeared in T-Zero: A Writer's Ezine. She is a former mystery editor for Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine.
Kimberly
is one of the seven authors of an anthology, Seven By Seven, in which she wrote seven flash stories, one on each of the seven
deadly sins. Lust and envy and wrath--oh my! The book is published by Wolfmont Publishing and can be ordered at by emailing
kimberlybrown@alltel.net.
After earning a degree in computer science, a master's degree
in management information systems, and a certificate in e-commerce and web design, Kimberly obstinately decided that really
wasn't what she wanted to do. When her husband Ed retired, Kimberly tried early retirement herself, but it wasn't quite the
thing either. So she settled on a compromise: working part time at the newspaper.
Kimberly, Ed, and their cat
Buffy live in the beautiful northeast Georgia mountains. While Ed lives the leisurely life of the retired gentleman, Kimberly
works hard at being a writer, a retirement companion, and faithful slave to Buffy. Buffy keeps her in line by waking her up
between 4:30 and 5:30 EVERY morning (weekends included). While not the most pleasant thing, it does allow for some extra writing
time, which surely is Buffy's true intent.
Kimberly may be found online at www.kimberlybrown.net, where she has an archive or writing markets and profiles of publications
that she writes for the Georgia Writers' News/Mag.
