Elizabeth Miller
Elizabeth is a socially reserved individual with interests in computers, her admittedly strange husband, the internet, all things electronic, needlework, books, and guns. Her main claim to fame, such as it is, is being the owner of one of the most creative blog names on the internet. She currently works as a secretary for the state, and at restraining her husband's impulses (See: Gunner - NoQuarters). In her not-so-copious spare time she occasionally posts on her blog: "The Harelipfrog" and has been invited to post on "This is Smyrna". She likes music of almost all kinds (IE Handel, David Bowie, Alison Krause and Pink) and books of almost all kinds as long as they are well written (no modern romance novels please).

Katherine Coble
Katherine Coble is a writer who majored in Political Science, Philosophy and English Literature at Taylor University. That means she's spent the last fifteen years of her life holding down odd jobs. Perhaps the oddest job she's ever had is being a blogger. Admittedly there are long hours and low pay, but at least the dress code is workable. She considers blogging to be some sort of chimera of creative writing exercises, journalism and old men whittling in rocking chairs.
Her blog "Just Another Pretty Farce" is read either by three hundred people a day or three people one hundred times a day.

Blogging since April 2005, Malia Carden is a stay-at-home mother of two children, a daughter age 6 and a son age 2.

Joining the ranks of the “MommyBloggers” blogging on "Musings From Malicious", Malia finds blogging an intriguing outlet for the adventures and trials of being a parent and a way to express herself in a grown-up world while living in a decidedly child centered atmosphere.

Michael Hickerson
Blogger by day and superhero by night, Michael Hickerson began his Nashville famous blog, Big Orange Michael, close to three years ago with one mission in mind--to meet women. Alas, his first desparate pleas for attention failed to garner any real interest and he settled in to obsessing about UT sports, TV shows and any other random event in his so-called life that he felt the Internet just had to know about.
Michael has a degree in communications with emphasis in journalism from the University of Tennessee, where he spent five years. In his varied career, he's been a sports editor, worked in customer service, delivered live golf scores and content, run a small business and is currently the web site coordinator for a local family-run business. Michael is a resident of Smyrna, Tenenssee, where he spends a lot of time spoiling his niece and nephew.
Michael writes for "Big Orange Michael" is a contributing writer to the Nashville media-related blog, "All Along the Watchtower," and is a contributing member to "This is Smyrna, TN".
