Bruce Parker
Inspired by everything from Homer to Ke$ha, Bruce Parker labours at short stories, poetry, lyrics, novels, and articles. His works are often littered with horror, comedy, historical references, and/or reflections on human nature. Through sword and sorcery, his real passion, he strives to draw these four threads together.
Parker graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 2014, with a degree in Classical Medieval Renaissance Studies. Between 2013-14, he served on the editorial board of In Medias Res, the campus liberal arts journal.
He has managed to abandon his Wattpad page (http://www.wattpad.com/user/Bruce-Parker). Now he aims for professional publication.
Lisa Goudy
Lisa Goudy has been writing stories since she was able to hold a pencil. She is a journalist and photographer by day at the Moose Jaw Times-Herald and a fiction and poetry writer by night.
The fiction genres she loves to write are mysteries and thrillers to keep your heart pounding and fantasies that capture your wildest imaginations. When it comes to her poetry, it’s a little of this and that, or whatever so happens to come out of the top of a hat.
You can find her articles at the Moose Jaw Times-Herald or follow her blog Lisa's Corner.
