About the Authors
Damarus Chereji
This is Damarus’ final semester, and then she will be graduating with her Creative Writing associates! Next semester she will start her degree in Studio Art, so that when she attains both these degrees, she will transfer to get her bachelors in both realms. Damarus’ goal is to become a published author and mangaka who works at the library part-time. Writing, art, music, traveling, aesthetics, and good conversation are what make her happy. She is a Christian and wants to be the first manga artist/writer to write a Christian-themed manga.

LUKA DENNEY
Luka is a Creative Writing major who plans on graduating in a year or so. She has three cats and possibly two more coming her way later this summer. She also has a family dog who is the craziest dog she has seen in a while, in a good way of course. Luka’s animals are her saving grace when she gets too locked down in a writing project. It’s great having easy access to pet mayhem and drama when you need it.

She will graduate with both in the spring of 2022 and plans to transfer to Corban University for a degree in Secondary Education Language Arts.
