Jim Wittenberg

Jim Wittenberg lives in open obscurity in California's Sacramento Valley. More people than he is able to count call him Jim, Jimmy, or Jim-Bo. They talk to him about Ford trucks, pit bull terriers, putting fertilizer on their lawns, or when they should trim their rose bushes. Anything but literature, probably because they think he's barely able to read, much less write. This gives Jim the freedom to write whatever he wants.

Paolo Honorificus

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!"

Ted Kopsaftis

Ted Kopsaftis, a minimally trained artist, attended the art institute of fort lauderdale. He now works in a country club and tries to draw and paint as much as he can. He believes there are too many artists in the world, and definitely too many bad ones. He hopes to be one of the bad ones.

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.
