Cathy Perry

 

Cathy loves typefaces and paper as well as the ideas of books and the subtle ways that the words change and act on each other and on us. Words fight back when you try to construct the perfect line> Lines struggle like a randy octopus as you try to pen them down. But like children, when they are too quiet you know something is wrong. Editing other people's work also gives Cathy great satisfaction---and saves the trouble of thinking up original ideas! 

She has edited the Group'sfirst anthology 'Griot' with Kampa Karan; the poetry pamphlet 'Bordering on Reality' ; and two volumes of Milorad Krystanovich's poems.

Gurnam Gill

Born in 1943 at village Dhoori near Jallandhar, he had his early educationfrom a local school. Later he did his masters in physical education and has completed his PhD in the same subject as well. It is another matter that he's always been somewhat reluctant to use the customary Dr. before his own name. On migrating to england in mid 1970s, he started writting both poetry and short stories with equal felicity and flourish. He has already authored nearly five collection of short stories, two of poetry and a book on health , too.

Niraj Mohanka 

Niraj Mohanka is a Dharmic Activist, an Indologist and a Public Speaker.  He was born in London, UK in 1966 from parents who both grew up in India.  His family came to the U.S. a few years later in the late-60s.  They moved around a bit and finally settled down in Upstate New York where he spent most of his childhood.  He is currently married with three children and lives outside of Boston.  His children are teenagers now, making him a bit older than most 2nd gen Indian-Americans.

 Niraj has a Bachelors and Masters in Electrical Engineering (BSEE and MSEE).  He’s been in Technology Sales for the past 15 years working for different startups and has been involved in Indology (the academic study of India) and many Hindu causes since the mid-90s.  He likes to joke that he “sells software on the weekdays and Dharma on the weekends!”  But in all seriousness, his Engineering background heavily influences all the Dharmic work he does because he approaches tasks more from a project management and numbers perspective than from a Bhakti or devotional aspect.  He is an organizer and a doer.

 Niraj has created and runs four websites to share his research with others, EpicTrilogy.com, IndiaHistoryOnline.com, NewDharma.org, and DharmicScriptures.org and he’s always working and assisting others with a number of other websites.  He is loosely affiliated with over a dozen organizations, but works primarily on a few long-term projects such as organizing the entire history of India (available for download at: http://www.indiahistoryonline.com/India_Chron.zip), bringing together all the roughly 3,000 primary scriptures of Sanathana Dharma (Hinduism) electronically (at: http://www.dharmicscriptures.org/scriptures.htm) out of the 10,000+ scriptures in existence today (towards the eventual goal of writing a new holy book, the Dharma Veda) and working to network 2nd gen Dharmins (Hindus) together globally to bring about a Dharmic Renaissance.

 He is very results-oriented, and likes to apply his analytical mind to solve seemingly unsolvable problems.  In addition to doing research, writing articles and marketing his ideas, he specializes in teaching and motivating young people.

William Wardlaw Rogers

Will is a writter who has been published in a number of publications specific to the West Midlands.

A regular performer of short stories he has also fraternised with stand up Comedy, storytelling, performing to music and work with the REP developing a play. Currently Will works for the Scripthouse as Head Of Writing .

Cut Cut Hands of the blues  represents a more experimental side to his writing. It relishes in the mood of New Orleans jazz, placing the words where the air has space for them. The story plots travel and hope. A blind land with the entitlement to stick a knife in the back of disappointment.
