Roberto Bolaño
For most of his early adulthood, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and Spain. Bolaño moved to Europe in 1977, and finally made his way to Spain, where he married and settled on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona, working as a dishwasher, a campground custodian, bellhop and garbage collector — working during the day and writing at night.

He continued with his poetry, before shifting to fiction in his early forties.

Bill Willingham
In the late 1970s to early 1980s he drew fantasy ink pictures for the Dungeons & Dragons Basic and Expert game rulebooks. He first gained attention for his 1980s comic book series Elementals published by Comico, which he both wrote and drew. However, for reasons unknown, the series had trouble maintaining an original schedule, and Willingham's position in the industry remained spotty for many years. He contributed stories to Green Lantern and started his own independent, black-and-white comics series Coventry which lasted only 3 issues. He also produced the pornographic series Ironwood for Eros Comix.

I have been shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards, Norma K Hemming Award, and Viva la Novella VII.

She’s a kinkster, who loves and lives the lifestyle when she can, and has been since she was tying up her toys as a child. She’s read and loved erotic, kinky, romantic, fun stories for about as long as well, which probably explains her dirty, dirty mind. Here’s to putting a little more play into kink literature and to sharing real, honest love, whatever form it takes.

Rafael Díaz Gaztelu
Desde pequeño he sentido fascinación por Julio Verne, Edgar Allan Poe y H. P. Lovecraft, y más adelante por Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert y Stanislav Lem. Muy tarde descubrí que más del 70% de mi biblioteca eran señores, y me documenté para descubrir a grandes autoras como Ursula K LeGuin, Cristina Jurado, Lois McMaster Bujold o Ann Leckie. La ciencia ficción es un género que me apasiona, y que puede llevarnos a mundos desconocidos y a situaciones extraordinarias como ningún otro género es capaz. Cuando escribo, siento que puedo crear cualquier cosa, cualquier personaje, cualquier planeta, para luego ir añadiendo los detalles y la historia del mismo; y es que solo en la ciencia ficción tienes libertad total para crear lo que te dé la gana
