The Staff and Contributing Writers of Sunlight Through The Shadows ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Staff --------- Joe DeRouen............................Publisher and Editor L. Shawn Aiken.........................Assistant Editor Heather DeRouen........................Book Reviews Bruce Diamond..........................Movie Reviews Tamara.................................House Poet Thomas Van Hook........................Poetry Editor Joe DeRouen publishes, edits, and writes for STTS magazine. He's had poetry and fiction published in several on-line magazines and a few paper publications as well. He's written exactly 1.5 novels, none of which, alas, have seen the light of publication. He attends college part-time in search of that always-elusive english degree. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, running his BBS, collecting music, playing with his five cats, singing opera, hunting pseudopods, and most importantly spending time with his beautiful wife Heather. L. Shawn Aiken dropped out of college when he realized that they couldn't teach him the two things he wanted to do; live successfully, and write. He had to find out these things all by himself on the road. Thus he became a road scholar. After spending his life hopping country to country, state to state, he now feels confident in his abilities and is working on his literary career. His main endevour is to become successful in the speculative fiction area, but he enjoys writing all forms of literary art. Heather DeRouen writes software for the healthcare industry, CoSysOps Sunlight Through The Shadows BBS, enjoys playing with her five cats, cross-stitching, and reading. Most of all, she enjoys spending time with her dapper, charming, witty, and handsome (not to mention modest) husband Joe. Heather's help towards editing and proofreading this magazine has been immeasurable. Bruce Diamond, part-time pseudopod and ruler of a small island chain off the coast of Chil‚, spends his time imitating desk lamps when he isn't watching and critiquing movies for LIGHTS OUT, his BBS movie review publication (now syndicated to over 20 boards). Recently, Bruce became the monthly movie critic for VALLEY REVIEW MAGAZINE, published out of Pennsylvania. LIGHTS OUT, now two years old, is available through the Rime or P&B Networks by dropping a note to Joe DeRouen, courtesy of Sunlight Through The Shadows BBS. The magazine will soon be available through Fido file request and Internet FTP. In the Dallas area, Bruce's distributor is Jay Gaines' BBS AMERICA (214-994-0093). Bruce is a freelance writer and video producer in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. There is very little known about Tamara, and she prefers to let it remain that way. She's a woman of mystery and prefers to remain hidden in the shadows of the BBS world. (Enigmatic, don't you think?) Thomas Van Hook resides in Dallas, where he works as a contract employee for the Federal Reserve Automation Services. Having served eight years in the USAF, he is happy to finally be free and able to pursue the dreams of his heart. At the age of 29, he is looking forward to many new adventures and experiences within the realms of the Elven kind. He enjoys reading, writing, sports of all kinds, his son Corey and the attentions of any Elven women that seem interested (not necessarily in that order). Recently divorced, he is trying to restore order and balance to his life without losing what little is left of his sanity. Contributing Writers -------------------- Ed Davis...............................Fiction Sean A. Donahue........................Poetry J. Guenther............................Poetry Daniel Sendecki........................Fiction, Poetry Nancy VanWormer........................Feature Article Author Unknown.........................Poetry Ed Davis has been scribbling seriously or has at least enjoyed the electronic equivalent, since 1981. Prior to that, his literary efforts were confined to whatever scrap paper he could find on a work bench at break or lunch time, since he was spending his working hours making chips and money in the guise of a Journeyman Machinist. Married to the same lady for 26 years and with two children still hovering uncomfortably close to the nest, Ed continues to write down his thoughts electronically. Check out the file NEWBOOK.ZIP, available from STTS BBS, for more of his work. Sean A. Donahue does not have any publishing ties whatsoever. He has written over 4,192 poems. Only 38 have seen to survive the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The time in which normal people say is spare, he tries to use to study for school at Texas Tech University. This is Sean's first published poem and he hopes that it is not his last. He has written exactly 428 novels all starting with "It was a dark and stormy night." None ofthem have gotten past the second paragraph. In whatever time he has left, he enjoys reading, riting, and rithmatic. He has an creative writing minor, a history minor, and a Honorary Doctorate in B.S. from Bowling Green State University. He dedicates his writing to those who are without love and hope. And that's no B.S. Grant Guenther, sometimes known as J. Guenther, confesses to be from a long-lost Martian colony, but in-depth investigations reveals that he was born and raised in a small but well-to-do community called Hartland in Wisconsin. A senior, he has written several collections of poems, and won many awards from his high school literary magazine, including 1st place for poetry and short-short fiction. He is the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and writes as a humor columnist (or at least he thinks so). Daniel Sendecki is a young, emerging, Canadian writer who lives in Burlington, Ontario. Currently, Daniel is pursuing his writing interests at home but intends to study literature at McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec. Author Unknown (oddly enough, his real name) has had several stories, poems, novels, plays, and pieces of artwork published throughout the world dating back to the dawn of man. So far, he hasn't received one red cent in royalties.
