| The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!" |

Vilhotti graduated from the only college that won the NIT and NCCA
basketball tournaments in the same year but more importantly than
that - a Jonas Salk who helped rid some of the world of polio with
his vaccine was also given the opportunity to contribute to Mankind
and graduated from the same NYC school that's called in some circles:
"The poor man's Harvard". This and the fact that there
was a place of higher learning that indeed gave every race, nationality
and creed an opportunity to play in the game of sculpting a better
world gives him great joy. |

M. Garrow Bourke’s artwork and fiction largely remain an underground phenomenon. Fried Anchovies with Bloody Bouillabaisse, his incindiary first novel, and his essay "The Art of Ribbing: a History of Sexist Humor" caused quite a stir among readers. Bourke (whose last name defies pronounciation) is currently hiding out and working on his second novel. When the urge to write wanes Bourke resorts to extreme digital image rendering. He is a traveling man who calls the roads of the United States of America his home. |

Pugnacious Jones was born in Boise, Idaho, in the year 1809. After his parents' untimely demise in a tragic horse and buggy accident, he was raised by his uncle, a horse farmer and trader of horses, who was eventually flattened in a stampede as the young Jones looked on. He later graduated from the University of Idaho, where he studied animal husbandry, with an emphasis on horses. After working unsuccessfully as a jockey, during which time he was nearly crushed to death by a rabid horse on steroids, the diminutive Jones served two years in the U.S. Army. It was at this time that his first book was published, The Revenge of the Jockey & Other Poems (1827). He was later appointed to the U.S. Military Academy, but was expelled after only a few months for "accidentally" mutilating the dean's horse. In 1836, Jones married his young cousin Alabama. However, she was trampled by a horse and confined to a wheelchair shortly after their marriage. Jones's works centered on equestrian themes. Some of his famous poems include "The Horse (Parts Front & Back)" (1831), "The Horse (Parts Inbetween)" (1845) and "Horseflesh" (1849). Short stories of note include "The Purloined Horse" (1844), "The Fall of the Horse of Usher" (1839), and "The Tell Tale Horse" (1843). In 1847, Jones's wife Alabama was trampled by a horse again and confined this time to a coffin. Jones went on a mad killing spree, slaughtering or at least trying to slaughter every horse he could get his hands on, but was soon hunted down and summarily executed by intelligent but vengeful horses from outer space. |

| Born a poor black child in rural Manhattan in the mid 60's, polycarp kusch grew to define the term--disinterested party. Lacking both ability and drive, he rose quickly in academic and business circles and finally landed a job as a K-Mart cashier. The following day he was fired and dedicated his life to literature. Popular opinion said this was a bad thing. This man should not be allowed access to sharp things like pencils. Then came latex gloves and computers and people forgot about polycarp kusch. But soon after World War 2, the "lost writings" of polycarp were rediscovered by a new generation of people with way too much time on their hands--and thus was born--the cult of the polycarp. He now lives in Budapest, Hungary existing on a simple diet of pork and Czechoslovakian beer with his third wife Evacarp. |
