Bonnie "Kitsune" Huffington has been eating souls for 19 years and has
expanded from her home base in Anacortes to include Mount Vernon only this year. When not plotting the destruction of the universe, she enjoys taking long walks and scaring tourists while savoring a warm mocha at her local coffee shop.

Bonnie is Editor-in-chief for Spring 2008.

Charles White has been a fan of the squared circle for 17 years, and has
made the transition from a city boy from Renton to a country boy living in Rockport. When not watching boxing or lacing up the gloves himself, he enjoys rafting, hiking, spending time with his girlfriend, and attempting to psychoanalyze his family, with little success.

Charles is the Assistant Editor for Spring 2008.

Ramon Van Fulton is a "Jack of no trades;" a wandering, wordless
person of interest; a philosopical ....inquisitor.
