In 1968, a reporter embedded in a crack commando unit returned from Vietnam and settled in the New Hampshire lake district. He had been on assignment in Vietnam since 1963, and witnessed numerous covert operations the details of which are still classified by the US government. Today, still wanted by the twiggy waitress at the Yankee Smokehouse, he survives as a writer of fortune. If you have a topic, if no one else will write about it, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire G.T. Beren.
Sarah Black Reeves is delighted to join this talented group of writers who often wander and may end up, at times, more than a little lost. Her favorite places to get lost are wilderness areas, but she also loves to explore big cities and exotic locales. She is thrilled to ride this roller coaster that is the writing life and hopes to be published someday. The year after college, Adam Blackman regularly contributed theater reviews and feature stories to Brunswick Times Record. His favorite was a profile of the Maine Migratory Waterfowl Stamp Contest winner. Best eider ducks, he'd ever seen, hands down. He's also published fiction in the literary magazine Words & Images and is nearing completion of his MFA in Fiction at Sarah Lawrence College. Jim Boyett was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas and now lives in Harlem. Various other places have also been lived in by him.

She is a graduate of Oberlin College and loves anything to do with reading, writing, and words in general. Colleen Cusick is a writer and editor at RT BOOKclub Magazine in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

His first book of short stories, "Polish the Idol," is now finished and in search of a publisher; if you like, please check out the whole book at www.KennethPaulDrews.com. Kenneth is knee-deep in fringe theater in Chicago, producing and sometimes directing his own work. His most recent effort is a comedy called "So this one time . . ." The show played to five weeks of sold out, enthusiastic audiences, and the unexpected profits are being used to adapt the show into a feature length movie. Kenneth is madly in love with a girl named Britt, who is the biggest pain in the history of his butt. Lost Writer's resident science geek and food snob, Alexis Eastman has been known to enjoy a fine cabernet while performing intricate biochemical experiments.

Currently, as a publicist for a major beauty company, Amy's writing doesn't extend far past press releases and memos about lipstick and hairspray.

His family ancestry includes Russian Bolsheviks, Polish Freedom Fighters, Cuban Dissidents, Indian Pacifists, and Canadian Anarchists. These roots inspired Paz to take on a moniker that in Spanish means "peace". During Paz's lifetime, he has seen revolutions come and go, but has now come to believe in the power of the American dream. But not the typical American dream of wealth and power, but the dream of freedom of ideas and necessity of revolutions. Inspired by Kos from DailyKos, Paz has dedicated his life to fighting for truth, justice and the American way. The history of America has inspired Paz to work toward the creation of a better union.

Turn-ons: defined-benefit pensions; gin before 5pm; John McCain. Turnoffs: the "terrorist surveillance program"; men in loafers; John McCain. Billy Joel once said that when you live on Long Island, you either date a rich girl from the North Shore or a cool girl from the South Shore. Alanna Schubach is originally from the South Shore.

Willie the Sports Hippie is penned by Josh Kaye, an aspiring sports writer from Brooklyn, New York. As a creation of Joshâs unmotivated brain, Willie apparently smokes weed and likes the Forrest Gump soundtrack. Willie is also a huge sports fan, just like Josh. Willie likes to rub it in that he was getting laid 15 years before Josh was even born. However, Josh refutes this, saying that Willie didnât even exist until February, 2006 and that, in fact, Willie will die a virgin. Willie continues to believe he is a real person and that he can do more than appear as a pen name for a twenty-something writer. You can join Willieâs fight by sending him an IM at: williethehippie. If he gets enough IMs, he will eventually become a real person and create a page on myspace.

She keeps up her street cred by writing creatively for this fine group of bohemian artists. 
Kyla Fitzpatrick was born in Illinois and grew up in Princeton, where she shunned playing house in favor of playing the more glamorous "young-and-fabulous-twenty-something-living-in-New-York". Now that she actually is a young and fabulous twenty-something living in New York, she is pleased to discover she was right. Her blog, Champagne Shopping Binge, can be found at: http://champagneshoppingbinge.blogspot.com/
Graham Fortier regularly purchases cigarettes and wine. He uses these vices to aid his writing, which he is putting the fine-touches on while he competes fiercely for a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. There's no doubt in his mind he's a shoe-in. When he's not writing, Graham enjoys listening and playing overly distorted music, as well as cigarettes and wine.
Approaching thirty, Holly Hagan is the oldest LostWriter on staff, however, she has failed to inspire anyone with her wisdom gained from experience. She is the resident travel editor, which is ironic because she can neither afford to travel nor does she have a sufficient amount of vacation days granted by her upper management position. She's working on a memoir-thingy called Near Life Experience, which appears every other Tuesday as a Found Voice. The first draft can be read in its disorganized entirety at www.nle0420.blogspot.com. 
A native New Yorker, Brenda Janowitz has had a flair for all things dramatic since she played the title role in her third grade production of Really Rosie. When asked by her grandmother if the experience made her want to be an actress when

Christina McNamee seems to be perpetually trapped in suburbia. A graduate of Oberlin College, she can often be found watching too much television and in the throes of her deadly knitting addiction. When not spinning yarn or wasting time on the internet looking at pictures of cats or occasionally, looking at pictures of cats trying to spin yarn, she manages a theatre box office in Washington, DC. She blogs about her craft projects at stitch-witch.net and about her everyday angst at kestrel127.livejournal.com.

Ann Miller, world traveler and self-proclaimed food critic, is currently residing in Spanish Harlem, working a crap 9-to-5er and attending the Institute of Culinary Education in the evenings. Ann enjoys eating out, rocking out at concerts, and going to the cinema in her free time. A typical Gemini, Ann can be found at the center of attention. We suspect that her loud and effervescent personality is really just her attempt to overcome the complete unoriginality of her name.
Jon Rachmani's fictions have also appeared in Lumina (with Amy Hemple and Thomas Lux), The Sarah Lawrence Review, and The Little Jackie Paper. He lives and works in fear in New York City.
Someone once told Mary Roebuck that she had an interesting body of work. She always thought that was odd because she is not a writer. She graduated from Oberlin and resides in Columbus, OH. For now she's working at a library. She could be moving.

And yes, you can call her Rinda - we all do.
