Kersten Hamilton was born in a trailer in the mountains of southern New Mexico. By their sixth birthday they knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. A writer! This would prove to be difficult, as a wayward fairy (apparently not invited to Kersten’s christening) gifted the child with dyslexia and dysgraphia topped with a dollop of autism spectrum disorder. Unaware of the academic and social trouble ahead, Kersten set off to have an exciting childhood tracking caribou and arctic wolves across in Alaska, catching tiny tree frogs in the swamps and rain forests of the Pacific Northwest, and chasing dust devils and rattlesnakes across the high desert of New Mexico. Kersten escaped electrocution when a typhoon blew power lines down over yet another trailer in a swamp in Washington state, and didn’t drown when a station wagon spun out of control onto thin lake ice in Alaska. Most of the bullets missed, none of the incidents with bears, snakes, wolves, or angry moose were fatal.
Now, Kersten is Mom to several grown children, Grimm to more than several grandchildren, a fearless defender of bugs and other beasties, and a writer! Hooray!

Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food
Alex Hess has been a freelance football writer for nearly a decade, during which time his byline has appeared regularly in FourFourTwo, The Independent, GQ, Football365, ESPN, The Blizzard and any other outlet willing to wave money at him. He is also a staff subeditor at the Guardian – for whom he also writes – working across the Sport and Culture desks. Fittingly enough, his writing tends to concentrate on the intersection between sport and culture, be it how modern football became obsessed with nostalgia, how the Swiss national team became a symbol for multiracial unity, or what the evolution of shirt sponsors tells us about the Premier League. He has written match reports, interviews, opinion pieces, minute-by-minute coverage, breaking news and even – on one especially glamorous day – ghost-written a column for Burnley centre-back Ben Mee. But most often he writes in-depth features that situate football within a wider social or cultural context. He also writes about films and television.
Elizabeth Hess wrote on art throughout the 80′s and 90′s for TheVillage Voice, The Washington Post, The New York Observer, Art News, Art in America and Artforum, among many other publications. Her essays have appeared in collections and catalogues around the world. She began writing about New York’s shelter animals for the Voice and New York Magazine and has written articles and columns on animals for dozens of newspapers and magazines ranging from Bark to The London Telegraph. Her book Nim Chimpsky: The Chimp Who Would Be Human became Project Nim, a film directed by James Marsh (Man on Wire) and produced by Simon Chinn. Hess divides her time between New York City and Upstate New York.
