Janet S. Blake found storytelling later in life and now tells her tales at I Love a Good Story, the M Bar's UnCab Lab Shows, the Jumping-Off-Point, Spark, and benefits for animal rescue and breast cancer, among others. "Have story, will travel" has become her new motto. Janet feels blessed that fire fighters saved her Briggs Terrace neighborhood during the recent devastating Station Fire. The kindness of friends pulled her through a six day evacuation.

Denis Faye is a writing whore. He's written for several publications, including The New York Times, Wired, Surfer and Los Angeles Magazine. His screenplay, the vampire western High Midnight, is currently in development with Mary Lambert attached to direct and Billy Baldwin attached to star. (No, that's not the weird, born-again Baldwin. That would be Stephen.) He writes comic books for Studio 407 and his blog www.easyfiend.com and has a small, cultish, stress-inducing following.

Fiona Landers is a New York/Los Angeles based singer-songwriter and actress. She has been compared both lyrically and musically to Elliott Smith, Paul Simon and Stephin Merritt and vocally to Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell and Leslie Feist. Her new EP, The Lake, an eclectic sampler of folk/pop songs, with a hint of jazz, is a wonderful introduction to a powerful new artist, and is available on Itunes.
