EXECUTIVE & REPRINT EDITOR

JUNIOR EDITOR

C E Aylett is a British author living in France. She travelled parts of East Asia and Australia, got up to some weird shenanigans that make good fodder for fiction, then settled back in Europe to renovate a ruin and start a family. Amid all the noise, dust and disturbed sleep it struck as a good time to write a novel. She speaks terrible French extremely well and has a penchant for really good live music.

JUNIOR EDITOR

I am a sci-fi/ fantasy geek and business lawyer. I returned to writing after the birth of my oldest son (now 22) as an escape from the drain of the business of litigation. Frankly, my law office is a mix of classic meets geek with the sci-fi /fantasy novels, autographs and toys scattered lovingly all over it. Over the years I developed near-allergic reaction to legal mumbo jumbo. I applied my experience with prose to my law practice and began serving my clients better and winning cases more often. Since first being published in 2012, I have several published short stories and a novella across different genres. I also self-published the nonfiction: Navigating Legal Landmines, a Practical Guide to Business Law for Real People, an Amazon best-seller in three categories in 2017, and contributed to the Amazon best-selling non-fiction Succeeding Through Doubt, Fear and Crisis in 2014.

Jake Frievald

Jake Frievald

Flash Fiction Online’s Founding Editor Jake Freivald lives on Long Island, New York in a house teeming with life: a wife, eleven kids (yes, all from said wife, no twins), two dogs, and a cat. Lack of qualifications never stopped Jake from taking a job, so when he saw the need for a professional flash-only ‘zine he created Flash Fiction Online. He was astounded when a team of amazing volunteers rallied around the project.

Suzanne Vincent

Suzanne Vincent

Suzanne Vincent joined the Flash Fiction Online team early in 2008 as a lowly slush reader, then served as editor-in-chief of Flash Fiction Online for 9 amazing years.  Since handing the reins over to the supremely talented and capable hands of Wendy Nikel at the tail end of 2020, Suzanne has filled her time with a few dozen of those “I’ll get to that one of these days” projects.  She is blessed to live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Ogden, Utah, where she raised a husband and three children, and where she and her best pal, Paisley (an Irish Terrier), make a nuisance of themselves on the extensive network of trails.
