Katherine Tracy, Editor
Katherine published the first issue of lintrigue.org in 1997 as a place to showcase the works of writers and artists. She enjoys sharing a variety of genres to bring about a deeper understanding of all cultures. L'Intrigue strives to share that twilight of negative capability whereby both the reader and writer experience that "emphatic openness to all experience" (Mellor).

Raejean Clark, Feature Artist
It begins in the River. Raejean's art is based on an ancient technique called Gyotaku seasoned with her Louisiana and Texas lifestyle, culture, and environment. Her art also appears as cover photos of Louisiana Literature. She has been invited to exhibit at the Beauregard Gallery in Baton Rouge throughout the summer (2009). Raejean's website is located at raejeanclark.com.
