Evangeline Jennings is an unreliable narrator. She tells lies for fun and profit. Mostly fun.

If Evangeline was a song - and she'd really like to be, she'd be "Public Image" by PiL or possibly "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore.

Born and raised in Liverpool, where they invented football and popular music, she now lives in Austin, Texas. The black sheep of her family, she comes from a long line of Californian beauty queens on her mother's side. As she so often says, Northern Scum, Southern Belle.

Evangeline watches an awful lot of movies and TV. During the break she cooks popcorn and writes stories about revenge.

Kate Garrett is a writer, mother, witch, editor, horror fan, history buff, amateur folklorist, heritage volunteer, and sometime singer and folk percussionist, among other things.

Born and raised in rural southern Ohio, Kate moved to the UK in 1999, where she still lives in Sheffield with her husband, five children, and a sleepy cat.

Author of the bestselling poetry culture parody, "Fifty Shades of Blue - the trilogy" Michele Brenton was born in Swansea, South Wales and shares her birth day and place with another Swansea poet, Dylan Thomas. She spent some time living on the Greek island of Kefalonia as did another poet, Lord Byron. She has lived longer than they managed and been happily married for twenty-five years so far.

She is delighted, surprised and honored each time her work is included in a publication. It happened first in 2001 when the poem 'Enemies' got into the 'When the Teacher Isn't Looking' anthology published by Pan Macmillan and most recently in 2015 with the inclusion of the short story 'This is Not a Ghost Story' in 'Slim Volumes 3 - This Body I Live In' an anthology published by Pankhearst and edited by Kate Garrett-Nield.

Brenton's ebook Fifty Shades of Blue - the trilogy, a rhyming parody of the runaway bestselling trilogy by E.L. James was released in the first week of July 2012 and did very well in the bestselling Kindle poetry list, including a couple of long stints as number one. An animated version voiced by the poet: Fifty Shades of Blue - the animation by Michele Brenton can be found on Youtube and a full colour comic book version illustrated using clay models is also available for sale - entitled 50 Shades in Clay.

Three books of her seven book series the 'Alternative Poetry Books' (the Yellow edition, the Pink edition and the Blue edition) published by Endaxi Press can be found boynging in and out of the Amazon poetry bestsellers lists like demented toddlers on a bouncy castle.

As banana_the_poet she was voted the most popular human poet by the Twitter community in the Shorty Awards 2011. She can be found on Twitter as @banana_the_poet and Michèle Brenton's Poetry Page is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MicheleBrentonPoetry
