Suzanne Vincent is the editor-in-chief of Flash Fiction Online. That’s what people think anyway. Actually, she’s really a pretty ordinary middle-aged woman packing a few extra pounds and a few more gray hairs than she’s comfortable with. As a writer, she leans toward the fantasy spectrum, though much of what she writes is difficult to classify. Slipstream? Isn’t that where we stick stories when we just can’t figure out where else they go? Suzanne’s first professional publication was right here at FFO, published before she joined the staff: “I Speak the Master’s Will,” — a story she’s still very proud of. While she doesn’t actually have time to blog anymore, she once did. You can still read her ancient posts on writing at The Slushpile Avalanche. Suzanne keeps a house full of kids (3), a husband (1), and pets (too many to number) in Utah, USA. Yes, she’s a Mormon. No, there isn’t another wife. Mormons haven’t actually practiced polygamy since the 1890s. Too bad. She’d love to have another woman around to wash dishes and do laundry.

Zach Shephard is the author of dozens of short stories, some of which have even been published in places other than his mom’s refrigerator. He mostly sticks to the fantasy and science fiction genres, because autobiographical tales are a tough sell for a guy whose proudest moment involves eating nine fair scones in one sitting.  His fiction has appeared in places like Fantasy & Science Fiction, Galaxy’s Edge and the Unidentified Funny Objects anthology series.  For a complete list of his published works–including a link to his first-ever sale, “Lovestruck,” which appeared right here at Flash Fiction Online–check out zachshephard.com.

Robert Sharp’s story “Man May Love” was published in the collection Short Stories From Life in 1916.
