J.D. Peterson

Not much is known about the strange & mysterious J.D. Peterson. Somewhat unreliable sources tell us that J.D. Peterson was born sometime between 1945 and 1971, or maybe earlier or later. His real name may be Jefferson Davis Pernoste, and he’s probably a doctor, but doctor of what, nobody knows.

J.D. Peterson’s xenohistorian peers (who always prefer to remain anonymous), think that his real name may be J.P. Homer [although he’d have to be ~16,000 years old] or he may be an immigrant from planet Orn. More critical colleagues suggest that J.D. Peterson is a dar moft, which may explain why nobody has ever seen or met the guy. The big nose & green skin would probably give him away. Others think he’s just some nutty writer.

Linda Bennett Pennell

I have been in love with the past for as long as I can remember. Anything with a history, whether shabby or majestic, recent or ancient, instantly draws me in. I suppose it comes from being part of a large extended family that spanned several generations. Long summer afternoons on my grandmother's porch or winter evenings gathered around her fireplace were filled with stories both entertaining and poignant. Of course being set in the American South, those stories were also peopled by some very interesting characters, some of whom have found their way into my work.

As for my venture in writing, it has allowed me to reinvent myself. We humans are truly multifaceted creatures, but unfortunately we tend to sort and categorize each other into nea
