This is the place where I highlight the wonderful people who have contributed to Randomities's content. Check them out!
If you'd like to guest post or have your profile pictured here in some other way, give me a shout at the contact page. :)
Kevin J Mackey is native Irish but now lives in the far drier climate of the San Francisco Bay Area. He reads widely - "whatever may be found between book covers" - but has a particular fondness for science fiction and poetry. He has had both flash and short fiction published in 2010 and 2011.
He also published "Haiku - Through a Lens", a collection of haiku and photographs on the themes of Light, Darkness, Travel and Seasons. He says he "follows in his father's ink-splotches".
Kevin is another of my knights in shiny armor. To him I dedicated a whole week, when he was interviewed, he had a guest post here at randomities, and a book review. He most certainly deserves the attention!

Cathy Webster lives on the sunshiny banks of the Muskoka River near Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada. She shares her rustic, 131-year-old log cabin with her new husband, Dave, two good-looking sons, two cats, one smallish dog and some squirrels in the attic. When she's not blogging at Life on the Muskoka River or coveting her new Kindle, she's designing magazines, camping at one of Ontario's gorgeous provincial parks, or fishing on the riverbank. Some day she thinks she might try writing a novel. Some day ... but you're not holding your breath, are you?
Cathy has amazing fiction in her blog, and her real life anecdotes are extremely amusing! Being one of the knights in shiny armor that rescued this dame when she was in distress (yup, that's me) her contribution to Randomities is one of the most valuable one could give! So I've dedicated her a whole week.
Cathy Webster's Week includes an interview, and a story featuring Cathy herself!
She wrote a great post on why writers should care (a lot) about connecting with bookstores, which has some marketing tips. Click here to read it.
