SANDI (Letterer & Editor)
SANDI, aka Sandra Buskirk, Damiana, or Dami for short, letters this
comic when she’s not changing the world like a superhero on crack. Thanks
to
her, the Ravens in the Library collection (which she art-directed
and
co-edited with her partner Satyr) blew through six print runs and made
a short yet significant footnote in the struggle for improved American
health care. Mom to a pair of awesome daughters, Dami slings fire,
herbs and attitude. You can find her blog at

RIA (Web Deva)
RIA, aka Ria Loader, The Pict (short for "the madly corrupt pict"), has been a web deva since shortly after the MIT coffee pot made its debut on the then-fledgling internet. She is a designer and writer, author of Dreamstones - Magick from the Living Earth, and co-editor (with Joy Window) of Unearthing the Goddess. Her hobbies include making mischief, challenging certainties, and conjuring possibilities.
She is in the middle of writing a book this year (with her partner Raven) on navigating relationships, and her goal in life is to live happily ever after.
