CONTRIBUTORS
Door County Living and Peninsula Pulse copy editor PAULA APFELBACH really should get around to using words such as “élan,” “jejune” and “ersatz.”
GRACE JOHNSON is the special issues editor and a book nerd. Her overweight cat and a floppy paperback bring her much joy.
SALLY COLLINS is a librarian at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College who lives in Sturgeon Bay with her photographer husband, geese-obsessed daughter and snuggly cat.
When BRETT KOSMIDER isn’t wandering off into the wilds, he usually has a camera in front of his face taking photographs or, as a co-founder and the creative director of Peninsula Filmworks, is producing videos about the people and places of Door County.
Writer and editor MYLES DANNHAUSEN JR. has been searching out stories for Door County Living since 2005. A board member of Write On, Door County, he lives in Sister Bay with his wife, Anne; and their son, Connor. JESS FARLEY is a sales manager for Door County Living and the Peninsula Pulse. Food is her passion, and practicing creativity in the kitchen is her happy place — preferably when paired with good company, great music and a full-bodied cabernet. DEBRA FITZGERALD is a recently repatriated Door County resident and journalist who serves as the editor of the Peninsula Pulse. She is thrilled to be back and is enchanted daily by her reacquaintance with the peninsula’s people and places. She’s living the good life in Sevastopol with her partner, Louis “Luther” Cole. TOM GROENFELDT of Sturgeon Bay writes about financial technology for Forbes.com and The Financial Brand in addition to writing profiles of Door County artists for the Peninsula Pulse.
Prior to writing for the Peninsula Pulse and Door County Living, SARA RAE LANCASTER was an editor with Reader’s Digest Association and a freelance writer for Milwaukee Magazine, The Writer and several local newspapers. Today she splits her time between writing about the people and places of Door County and operating OneEighty Petals Flower Farm in Fish Creek alongside her husband, John; and their young son, Jack. Since her husband Roy’s passing in 2016, CHARLOTTE LUKES writes to fulfill his mission to help educate and inspire readers to learn, care for and protect our native species and the natural world. Door County Living and Peninsula Pulse creative director RYAN MILLER excessively exercises his imagination to keep creatively fit. Outdoors enthusiast CRAIG STERRETT of Egg Harbor has more than three decades of journalism experience, with most of those years spent serving readers in three Illinois counties as an editor and writer.
