FEATURED SHORT STORIES - ISSUE #9
P.S. Gifford is completely fascinated with two things; the darker side of life and the written word. By the tender age of nine he had combined these two passions and was devouring several horror books a week and, perhaps more significantly, started to write. In the early 1980s he relocated from his native England to California. Since then he has acquired dozens of professional writing credits including three books. His latest is the short story collection: The Further Accounts of the Imaginary Friend. For more details visit www.psgifford.com

Bradd Quinn was born and lives in Rochester, NY. He attended Rochester Institute of Technology where he earned a degree in Fine Art Illustration, and a Masters degree in Print Publishing. He's always had the creative arts in his blood, at least that's what his mother always told him...and his therapist. From being absolutely certain he wanted to be a comic strip artist at age 11 (despite his work’s very obvious similarity to Garfield), to political cartoons at 13, to comic books and graphic novels throughout high school, to turntablism and music production, Bradd just always knew he wanted to create.
