- Adrian Webster
- Adrian Webster brought a great work ethic and passionate play to the NASL Sounders. Those were the days of playing at Memorial Stadium before sell-out crowds of 17,000 who literally hung over the field on those steeply-graded stands while hanging on every kick from the home side. It seems like a lifetime away, yet the memories are still fresh. Webster and his mates doing the impossible in 1977, a season that seemed to flat line but then turned into the Sounders' first deep playoff run. 58,000 fans cheering as Jocky Scott headed home the winner and Adrian's club defeated the LA Aztecs and George Best. Then came the big day, an event which all true Sounders fans set their spiritual clocks by. Soccer Bowl '77 and Pele's last match, the league final against Webster's Sounders.

- Alison Jean Ash
Living in 13 cities in 7 states by age 18, as a child I found stability in reading, from mystery to mythology, from Shakespeare to the backs of cereal boxes. Employment took me to kitchens, offices, bookstores, broom closets, emergency shelters and 12 years as a craft artist. And all the while, I've been writing. I live in Western Washington, near salt water and mountains. I rejoice in 2 children and 4 grandchildren, swimming and being a soccer hooligan with my husband, who inspires my romances both sweet and sexy. Many of my stories are set in the fictional Midwestern town of Oakville, where “people still know their neighbors, friendships last a lifetime—and gossip is a force of nature.” As Jade Max, I also write steamy romance.

If the author is not sitting at an electric, 1965 TARDIS-blue, Smith-Corona Electra 110 working on new prose, the busy hands can probably be found beating on an antiquated digital piano and irritating the neighbors for hours on end.
Two favorite hobbies are Friday nights spent at the local bowling alley, in search of rolling the first 300 career game and Sunday mornings that are filled with creating new breakfast dishes while listening to the Beatles until all mimosas are exhausted.

- Margarita Felices
I live in Cardiff with my partner and three little mad dogs and I work for a well-known TV broadcasting company. I love living in Cardiff because, for all its modernisation, there are still remnants of an old Victorian city. I love writing and base my stories in Cardiff because it has such character. When I can, I go out to the coast and take photographs, mind you, we have a lovely castle in the city centre and a fairytale one just on the outskirts, so when I feel I can't write anything, I take a ramble to those locations and it clears my head.
I suppose it was inevitable that some day I would write a novel. My teachers at school used to limit me to no more than ten pages. When I left school, I wrote short stories for magazines, and it paid my way through college. I am Gothic, I love the fashion, the architecture and the music. The club in my novel is real. When I was writing book one, I got all my club material and clientele from here, I wouldn't have finished that section without it.

- Sarah Butland
 I am a struggling artist, a challenging and challenged mother who always thinks she is failing, an emerging freelance writer and reporter, an author with my name on several books crossing genres and always hoping to find more readers who enjoy them.
I am also a successful artist, a wonderful and thriving mother of one, a reacher towards both people and dreams despite all of the turned backs and obstacles in my way. I am a thriving freelance writer and reporter, an author loved by enough readers to make it worthwhile and a discombobulated conundrum who loves to hear new music, tell new tales and meet new authors. And I’m doing something I always dreamed of doing – reviewing books to support others as well as myself and family.
My past is filled with complications, misunderstandings and the desire to escape them all, actually, my present is filled with all of that too, plus my past to totally throw things off balance. Oh yes, I learned to juggle when I was in grade nine but only three balls and not very well, so what the heck am I doing trying to juggle it all now? I’m living my dream, as complicated as that is most days and … I’m living my dream, just talking the side walk instead of the road for a bit. That way I can afford to fill in the pot holes before I cruise to greater success!
I am not perfect, nor have I ever been but I try. I try so damn hard every day to do the right thing and feel good about it.
So yes, I feel I have always been Imagination Captured as I try to put that aside to tell my own truth when I’m ready to read it.
