Barry Haworth works as a data scientist with the Australian Taxation Office, which is more interesting than you might think.  Barry lives in Brisbane, Australia with his wife Sylvia, his three unmarried children, their five cats and one dog.  Barry's married daughter has just made him a grandfather.  Outside of work and family, Barry's hobby is community theatre, where he has performed a variety of roles over the years, including some Shakespeare (Malvolio in Twelfth Night and Prospero in The Tempest), Marley's Ghost and Ebenezer Scrooge in two different version of A Christmas Carol, a few musicals, a murder mystery or two, and a lot of children's theatre with his daughters when they were younger.  Barry is currently rehearsing for a production of Frankenstein, his first ever science fiction play.  Barry has listened to Journey Into for many years and has meant to enter several past writing competitions but only managed to complete something for this latest one.
Rish Outfield is a writer, voice actor, and imitator of the late Sean Connery.  He's a fan of the Star Wars Trilogy, Eighties music, and those horror movies your mother insisted you not watch for fear of what they'd do to you (turns out she was right about that one).  He's the former co-host of the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine podcast, and his own show, the Rish Outcast.
