meet the rogues

rogue founder, Jennifer Brennock Buckner is an overenthusiastic student pursuing an M.F.A. in Creative Writing at Goddard College. Currently, she is recovering from a decade of freelance writing. Her publication credits include hundreds of stupid, yet marketable, features about dressing up lap dogs, fabulous D.I.Y. faux finishes for concrete floors, and where to get the best baked potato in Kenosha. Her mother-in-law is the sole human who has read them all. Now, when she's not feeding chocolate to the dog, Jennifer is writing. This time it’s whatever she wants. Jennifer is an assistant editor of the Pitkin Review literary journal. She will be teaching a creative writing class, Write Like a Photographer, at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of Southern Oregon University in Fall 2008. Geologically speaking, she will complete her novel, Not Jewish, very soon.

Chris McCrellis-Mitchell loves to write poetry and the occasional tall tale (the irony of being six-foot-seven not being lost on this witty, punny, wisecracker, and by that he means smart Caucasian male). Having lived a lot of life, both good and bad, in the rough-and-tumble big city in California, and now in this much more laid-back area of Oregon, when he's not playing sports and holding on to the shreds of his youth, he almost always brings a smile to the group, if not a poem or an attempt at a humorous children's movie script. While he is on summer break, he'll gladly rejoin his fellow Rogues in the quest for the Holy Grail of publishable material in the fall, and welcome new/old members back.

Hailing from the Bluegrass State, Kentucky, Vince Tweddell is new to the Rogue Valley, where the tint of grass seems to be more of a brown. He's spent the majority of his working career as a newspaper reporter, and currently is a freelance writer, while still making attempts at fiction. He often wonders why so many people seem to comment about the way he talks, when really, it's everyone else out here who's talking funny.

Shannon Celebi: rogue webmaster, writer and superhero extraordinaire.  Shannon has the power to alter time, create new realities, turn water into wine, and bring peace to warring nations--all while cooking dinner, cleaning the house, and toting her 13 year old son to music, art lessons and numerous hang-out sessions.  Shannon is a magnificent multi-tasker--while working on her almost finished fantasy novel, she works as a professional editor for an online publishing firm in Ashland. an example of Shannon's short fiction can be read online in the September issue of Ideomancer by clicking here.
