April Gutierrez, Book Editor, currently resides near the Chesapeake Bay, where she toils as a QA Tester for a mail-order veterinary pharmacy. A frequent traveler when younger, she had the good fortune to spend part of her childhood near Germany's Schwarzwald, out of which grew a fascination with tales dark and mysterious. Her literary love though is for things Irish: Wilde, Joyce, Yeats; and her current musical preference (read: obsession) is for Japanese rock/pop (Gackt, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Seki Toshihiko Kiuchi Hidenobu, Minagawa Junko ... and so on). She's currently diving back into Japanese classes in a vain attempt to master the language before hopefully moving to Japan to teach. She welcomes comments at her Green Man Review e-mail address.
