About us.

*SUPERficial FLESH started in the Spring of 2004
with three friends (all enrolled at Texas State University--San Marcos)
at the helm. We managed to produce one quality issue and only received two
submissions for the next issue, so we shut down production so we could pass
our classes and go on to greater things. One of us wound up in Asia, another
in the technical communication graduate program at Texas State, and I wound
up at the University of Texas--Dallas, pursuing the frightening path toward
a doctoral degree. *SUPERficial FLESH has since been reborn out of the efforts
of a Dallas area writer's group, "Rejected Writers Unite."
As we add more people to our operation, we will add to this
section as well.
