Weekly Artist

Name: Gil C. Schmidt

Gil also writes under "Gil The Jenius," primarily concerning topics related to Puerto Rico, where Gil was born. Raised as an Air Force brat--through no fault of the U.S. Armed Forces--Gil lived in Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi before moving to Puerto Rico. He returned to Mississippi for his college days and started writing more often. Back in Puerto Rico since 1988, Gil has worked as a freelance writer, business consultant, teacher, conference speaker, project manager and youth basketball coach. A huge fan of board games and military history, Gil looks to combine interests and experience in transmedia projects to join his growing portfolio of fiction and non-fiction projects. Gil is recently married, to Mrs. Jenius.

Name: Nivedita

Aka: Er Divenita

Publishing Specialist with Thomson Reuters, Freelance Writer with The Hindu, an Indian Newspaper, a happiness freak and a talk-o-holic. I am a cool headed person most of the times. I love exploring this field called writing as it allows you to be yourself and no longer how old you grow, you are always learning.

I write poems. I am still an amateur.

Name: Cynthia (cina) Pelayo


Cynthia (cina) Pelayo grew up in a haunted house and so it seemed natural that her lifelong interests would be dusted with a hint of the macabre.


A former journalist, she now devotes her creative time to researching and writing supernatural tales of horror ingrained in Latin American folklore.


She holds degrees in journalism, marketing, and most recently completed a Masters of Fine Arts in Writing where she refined her interests through coursework in detective fiction, Grimm’s fairy tales and her own personal interest in horror.

Her writing is a genre-bend of mystery, horror and detective fiction, based heavily in Latin American myth, folklore and superstition.

I am also an editor and a blogger for supernatural horror publisher Burial Day – www.burialday.com

Education: Bachelors of Arts in Journalism, Masters of Science in Integrated Marketing Communication, and recently completed a Masters of Fine Art in Writing (with a minor in morbidity)

Likes: Bats, Ravens, Crows (I have a thing for black winged animals), Victorian mansions, haunted houses, myths, folklore, superstitions, fairy tales, cemeteries, and whiskey

Dislikes: Daylight, bright and shiny things such as rainbows and unicorns

Status: Was rescued from a dark tower several years ago by a black bearded man and so for his trouble I married him.
