 Cath Murphy  is a freelance writer and critic.  Her articles can be viewed at www.diatribal.org and along with Eve Harvey she podcasts at        Sluttylemon giving you the naked truth about everything.   She likes upside-down photos.  She can be followed @cathinnorway.

Deb Werrlein:  In a previous life, Deb wrote scholarly articles about childhood and nation, but then she figured out no one really reads that gobbledy-goo.     Now, as a mom with a mission to change the world one household at a time, she blogs about intersections of politics and home at her personal blog small house, big picture.   Deb believes all writing should be beautiful.  If she hasn’t achieved that, you at least know she tried.  When she’s not working on her book, her blog or someone else’s proposal, she’s tutoring kids with dyslexia, cooking, canning, baking and candlestick making for her tween daughter and teen son.  If you don’t find her at the computer, and she’s gone AWOL from the kitchen, I promise she’s not cleaning the bathroom.  More than likely, she’s out on her bike chasing hopefully after the wind.

Sharon-Ann Gladden likes to keep things interesting and, for the moment, refuses to be confined to a defined role or label.  She’s a part-time model, and a graduate student pursuing a Master’s in Mandarin.   Sometimes, she even tries her hand at writing snarky articles about life, love and everything in between.
