J.S. Longstreet

Jeff S. Longstreet

Born January 29, 1983, J.S. Longstreet never knew he’d one day be writing stories of silliness and fantastical adventures. Some have always warned young Longstreet that he ought to get his head out of the clouds; however, always dreaming about flying, J.S. Longstreet never did. While not drawing a comic entitled, “RESET!”, or a series of super hero parodies, he’s writing stories about Dreams. One might ask: “What colour is the sky in the world you live in?”, and to that he would answer, “Often orange and sometimes envious.” There are numerous short stories under his belt: some about a colony of theocracy driven ants, others about Christmas and Jack Frost. Never know what to expect next from J.S. Longstreet; he’s always thinking!

Ciaran Myers

Ciaran Myers is chiefly influenced by his family, his spirituality, and the literature of his Irish-Canadian heritage. He is the second youngest of seven children, all of whom are artists. Ciaran has grown up in a culture of eternally developing talent. From his family he takes a background of traditional storytelling, dance, verse, philosophy, and fine art. These influences will often seep into his writing. His first play made its world debut in February 2007 at the University of Waterloo, where he is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Drama. Though still discovering his interests at University, Ciaran Myers plans to finish his undergraduate degree with a brighter knowledge of poetry performing texts.
