| The Project Pulp Staff :: Jon Hodges |
Site Operator, Site Designer, Programmer, Webmaster, Accountant Originating from and spending most of his life in North Carolina (now on the coast), Jon has been told by more than one person he is a Yankee trapped in a Southerner's body. He is a writer and amateur musician, editor, and publisher. He attended all his years of pre-collegiate schooling in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, graduating from Mt. Tabor High School in the spring of 1999. He then took a year off and left for St. Stephen's University in St. Stephens, New Brunswick, Canada in the fall of 2000. He stayed two days. He's now enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where he'll be majoring in creative writing. Jon's first passion is writing. Despite his constantly growing CD collection due to his music obsession, his first recollection of having an interest in writing is from second grade. In third grade he wrote a short story about a snake named Jose who hitchhiked his way across the country. Jon's English teacher liked it and gave him the opportunity to turn it into a play, which was performed for a couple other elementary classes. So far, it seems that was his fifteen minutes of fame. Jon's work has been published in webzines such as Jackhammer, Ibn Qirtaiba, AntipodeanSF, Aphelion, Titan, The Orphic Chronicle, Into the Dark, An Eclipsing, Planet Relish, and The Dream People. He has also been published in (or is waiting to see published) works in such print magazines as Dreams & Nightmares, Parchment Symbols, Quicker, Whispers from the Shattered Forum, Edgar, Flesh & Blood, Extremes: Darkest Africa, The Harbinger, and his own chapbook of ten vignettes released from Eraserhead Press called Sycophantic Peepshow. Jon is always open to e-mails. If you have a suggestion for Project Pulp, you can find various forms to utilize to share your idea on the speak page. | ||||||

| The Project Pulp Staff :: Noel K. Hannan |
Staff Reviewer Noel has managed to survive to age 34 with a keenly honed sense of personal survival and only one broken limb. He lives in Crewe, Cheshire, England, the flattest place on the planet, where he somehow manages to indulge his love of mountains. He has a wife, Helen, a son, Alex, and a cocker spaniel, Molly. He makes his living as a data centre manager so he knows a thing or two about computers, spends some of his free time as a reserve soldier so he knows a thing or two about guns, and when he is not sleeping or eating he is a writer and small press publisher, so he knows a thing or two about rejections and late nights. Other obsessions include the Boer War and thrash metal. If this mass of contradictions intrigues you then you should probably check out the website at http://www.nhannan.freeserve.co.uk. Otherwise, sorry to have bored you. | ||||||

| The Project Pulp Staff :: Forrest Aguirre |
Staff Reviewer Forrest Aguirre lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife, Natalie and four children. He was born in Wiesbaden, (then West) Germany and has lived in Italy, England and the Phillippines, as well as most regions of the USA, raised as a military dependant. He holds two entirely useless degrees: a BA in Humanities and a Master's Degree in African History, both of which make him a wonder at dinner parties. In his real life, he is the inventory manager for Rutabaga, the world's largest canoe and kayak shop. He has run unsuccessfully for political office. Forrest's love of reading gave rise to his love of writing. From the campy depths of bad seventies science fiction, he emerged to appreciate fine literature (note the BA, folks) as well as genre works in the dark fantasy/horror vein. He is particularly fond of more surreal works. Favorite contemporary authors include DF Lewis, Brian Evenson, Stepan Chapman, Jeff VanderMeer, Thomas Ligotti, Jonathan Carroll and Steven Millhauser. His list of the glorious deceased includes, but is definitely not limited to, Franz Kafka, Edgar Allen Poe, Italo Calvino, Jorge Luis Borges and HP Lovecraft. He does not watch much TV, prefering to spend any spare time wrestling with his kids on the living room floor. Forrest's fiction and poetry has appeared or will appear online and in print in DeathGrip, Demensions, SteelCaves, Pegasus Online, Twilight Showcase, Flesh & Blood, Indigenous Fiction, The Earwig Flesh Factory, Redsine, Dark Planet, The Regurgitated Spork, Roadworks, Midnight Gallery, Rogue Worlds, October Moon, and Eraserhead Press's Strangewood Tales anthology. Chances are he will publish more. A chapbook collection of his short-short fiction is in the works. He is also a (very part-time) reviewer for Tangent Online. Forrest is a proud member of Storyville. | ||||||
