Paula Arwen Owen (cover illustration) is an artist who works in hand-cut paper silhouettes and collage, using the contrast of darkness and light, of dreams and reality to create compelling illustrations. Her work has appeared in magazines such as Mythic Delirium and Strange Horizons, and on book covers by authors including Cherie Priest and Catherynne M. Valente. She lives at the edge of an enchanted forest in the Catskill Mountains with her husband and a variety of creatures domestic, wild, and mythical. Paula’s unique cut paper greeting cards, artwork, and decals are available at her Etsy shop and in retail stores.

Many thanks to the talented artists who drew interior art for this issue: Carrion House, Michelle MB, Belinda Morris, Dotti Price, Carol Wellart, and P. Emerson Williams.
