Babs on a bike tour across the US with her husband Lou (Lewis is taking the picture) "My dream for FUTURES was not to make a copy of those that precede and surround it, but an archetypal first edition. This magazine has been created, exists, to give you juice. To spark your creative power. As a group, we will ignite what is inside our core, our soul." You can reach Babs through Futures or by email. Click here to view an interview with Babs and learn more about her. Spirit of the Straightedge, Spirit of the Silent Butler, and Spirits of the Once Walking are now all available. To learn more about Babs and her novels or to order online go to www.suspenseunlimited.net Babs, the featured author on The 3rd Degree from Volume 2 Issue 4 would love to have you read her story THE RED BLOOD SALOON from their archives and let them know if you enjoy it.

Lida says, "Rest assured we will keep FMAM as a mystery magazine. The emphasis will be at least 70% mystery for the foreseeable future. Twilight Times primarily publishes SF/F stories and we would like to keep the two ezines just as they are now - focused on different areas of speculative fiction." Contact Lida: publisher@fmam.biz |

Too much of her time is spent at a full-time job that consists of crunching numbers and running compliance testing on retirement plans. She considers herself something of a loner and was delighted to be offered the opportunity to work from her home since February 2005. She lives with her Significant Other, Marty, in St. Cloud, MN
and longs for the day they can both retire and escape – or
at least ignore – the long, cold winters.

GinELF
~ Ginnie E.L. Fenton is a professional artist who specializes in
illustrations, glamour portraits, pinup, mystery, crime, and fantasy
art. A few years ago, she brought her conventional art skills to
the new digital medium, and now creates her mostly romantic, sensuous
studies of beauty and drama, with the aid of her computer, drawing
tablet, and stylus. Her style and subject matter are particularly
suited for use as magazine and book illustration and cover art.
In the past couple of years almost all of her paintings and illustrations
have been published. Her illustrations are now featured in the outstanding
Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine and FAME, its wonderful online
sister. She has recently been appointed to the position of Art Director
for FMAM. Gin is a member of the Graphic Artists Guild, and lives
in an oak woods by a lake, in rural northeast Texas, with her retired
doctor husband, and pets.
A
native Californian, Virginia Lo Monaco has in the past worked for
the Orange County Sheriff's Department as a Fingerprint Technician
and for the Orange County Probation Department as a Juvenile Hall
Group Counselor. She has also been employed as a computer programmer,
systems analyst and opera singer (her first love). She has recently
returned to California after residing in Italy for almost 16 years
where she directed the church choir in the town where she lived.
She also sang on Italian TV and gave concerts in many cities. "A
Man of Honor," one of the short stories she has had published in
Futures MYSTERY Anthology Magazine, was nominated for a Pushcart
Prize and, after she translated it into Italian, she won 2nd place
in the Akery National Literary Competition in Acerra, Italy. Her
SF short story, "Intermezzo a Cappella" won an Honorable Mention
in the Writer's Digest 2001 Writing Competition in the Genre Short
Story classification. She has also published poetry in "The Shining
Light," an anthology. She has completed two mystery novels which
are, at this very moment, in the hands of her agent.
Marlene
Satter finds that she gets the most done, whether writing or editing,
when Tribby is in her customary spot by the computer and there's
harp music playing in the background. Marlene's nonfiction has appeared
everywhere from The News of Salem, Arkansas to Investment Advisor
Magazine,
