Tim's website Nick's website Buy Romance here Timothy Arliss OBrien (he/they) is an interdisciplinary artist in music composition, writing, and visual art. He has premiered a range of music from opera to film scores to electronic ambient projects. He has published several books of poetry, (The Queer Revolt, Dear God I’m a Faggot, & Happy LGBTQ Wrath Month), and has written for Look Up Records (Seattle), and Deep Overstock: The Bookseller’s Journal. He also founded the podcast & small press publishing house, The Poet Heroic, and founded the digital magic space The Healers Coven. He also showcases his psychedelic makeup skills as the phenomenal drag queen Tabitha Acidz. Nicholas Yandell is a composer, who sometimes creates with words instead of sound. In those cases, he usually ends up with fiction and occasionally poetry. He also paints and draws, and often all these activities become combined, because they’re really not all that different from each other, and it’s all just art right? When not working on creative projects, Nick works as a bookseller at Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon, where he enjoys being surrounded by a wealth of knowledge, as well as working and interacting with creatively stimulating people. Theme music is "Take Me Higher" by Jazzhar.
