Contributor Biographies

Arrow, Jester

Jester Arrow is a traveller who roams the UK to try and delve a little deeper into society, culture and the ways of humanity. He is based in east London/ Essex and works odd jobs to fund his excursions including tree work, bar work and charity jobs. His greatest inspirations are Robin Hood, Morrissey and Marx and Engels.

Board, Tempra

Tempra Board is a professional grant writer of nearly two decades, working mostly for environmental and social services nonprofits. She holds a B.A. in English from Humboldt State University and an M.A. in Communication Development from Colorado State University. When not writing grant applications or engaged in awkward hugs, Tempra writes creative nonfiction, primarily personal essays, and posts them way too infrequently at temprasays.wordpress.com. For inspiration, encouragement, and homemade soup and cake, she is part of a small writing (and eating) group. She shares a messy home in Chico with her husband, David, their dog Jasper, and cat Scrimbles. She also plays tennis like a madwoman.

Carrillo, Marcos

I am a small time artist and photographer. I have been an artist my whole life, and I enjoy making my own one a kind creations. For a big portion of my life I had a huge creativity block. Not having any motivation to come up with new ideas. Until recently when I found photography. I could finally express my creativity in many ways now that photography brought me a new perspective, and that exactly what I plan to do.

Heflin, Kristina

My name is Kristina Heflin. I’m a lifelong writer, and quickly on course to becoming a lifelong student. I will soon have my Associate’s in English from Yuba College, and, after many academic twists and turns, will be pursuing my Bachelor’s in English from Arizona State University in 2017. I have been published multiple times in journalistic pursuits, but this will be my first time in print as a creative author. Don’t expect it to be my last however. My first novel, about the forsaken goddess Sigyn, is well under way. In that fictive thing called spare time, I ride my two horses, read historical fiction, and haunt the halls of local ComicCons.
