Guest Judge for 2012 Story Quest Short Story Contest

We are pleased to release the name of our Guest Judge for this year's Story Quest Short Story Contest. It is horror fiction writer Daniel I Russell, British-born and resident in Western Australia. We were very fortunate to have him contribute recently to SQ Mag edition 2.

The following bio is taken from his own words:

His newest novel, The Collector: Mana Leak (Dark Continents Publishing), is released today (1 May 2012).
