Editor In Chief 

Rhonda Schlumpberger is a Midwest farmer’s daughter who liked climbing to the top of grain silos to watch sunsets. Later, she enjoyed the challenges of military service and a career in molecular diagnostic sales and team management.

Intrepidus Ink explores her interest in determined individuals, conflict, and overcoming defeat: “Ut ipsi succedant.”

Rhonda holds an MA from SNHU and an MFA from Seton Hill University. She’s formerly a Fiction Editor at Orion’s Belt Magazine, a Priority Editor at Flash Fiction Magazine, and an intern at Entangled Publishing. She reads for Space and Time Magazine.

She adores language, the flash reader’s experience, and compression, brevity, and urgency in texts.

Rhonda’s work appears in Space and Time Magazine, New Flash Fiction Review, Misery Tourism, Frost Zone Zine, All Worlds Wayfarer, Pulp Modern Flash, other online magazines, and anthologies such as When the World Stopped and Like Sunshine After Rain, edited by Heidi Ruby Miller.

Her best advice concerns coffee and SoCal: both are hot. She’s on Twitter @rhondaschlumpb and @intrepidusink.

Editor

Amanda Hurley is a wearer of many hats: writer, reader, editor, translator, radio-maker, journalist, mother, partner, barista, cafe owner, and baker. And that’s just this week.

Normally, you can find her wandering in the forests of eastern Germany, a boisterous Labrador in tow, searching for blueberries, wild strawberries, and edible mushrooms.

Or else she’s scanning the Internet for the best in flash fiction, updating her skills with numerous courses, or following half a dozen news sites throughout the day.

Amanda is an experienced journalist and has worked in fast-paced newsrooms such as The Daily Telegraph in London, England, and Radio New Zealand in Wellington, New Zealand. 

Passionate about the rhythm of the English language, Amanda adores the possibilities afforded by flash and the techniques associated with compressed fiction.

She is thrilled to explore the innovative and intrepid world of Intrepidus Ink with Rhonda and her team.

Amanda is published in Flash Fiction Magazine, Spillwords, Elpsis Pages, and Flash Frontier. Follow her on Twitter @AmandaHurleyNet.
