SandScript 2023 [Digital Exclusive]

Kristin LeBlanc
Has always been a writer at heart, but it wasn’t until their time at PCC that they allowed themselves to
share their work. Being forced out of their comfort zone and having to share their stories in class was just
the push they needed to help them realize their dreams. No longer satisfied with an audience of one,
Kristin plans on working on, and finishing, their Sci-Fi story, The Ruins of the Old Ones. They also hope
to one day compile their poems in a book and, with the lovely suggestions of their classmates and
professors, create a book of poems dedicated to their fantasy stories. Kristin is inspired by European
Folklore, Greek, Celtic, and Norse mythology, Dungeons and Dragons, and classic and modern
Speculative Fiction as a whole. Neurodivergent, nonbinary, and queer, they enjoy stories about righting
wrongs, class differences, neurodiversity, gender, queer struggles, and of course, dragons.

Lucas Hillenbrand
Is a 20-year-old artist from Minnesota. Lukas has focused on art for the majority of his life and his
preferred medium is drawing with pen and pencil. In the past, he has received many awards for
his art, including a purple champion ribbon that won him a trip to the Minnesota state fair and an
Art Grant given by the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. Currently, Lukas is studying Visual and
Performing Arts at Pima Community College and intends to move on to University to pursue a
degree in Art and Animation.
Mackenzie Dougherty
Is a PCC student who wants to have a career in editing and publishing. Her poetry reflects her life
experiences, while her prose is primarily fantasy based. When choosing to read, she loves romance,
fantasy, and mystery, though she tries to remain open-minded to new genres. In her downtime,
you may find her escaping reality by traveling around Arizona with her best friend. Each and every
experience she has inspires her to write more, so one day, she may just publish her works outside of
the magazine that got her started.
Madeline Currah
Has loved reading and writing poetry from a young age, usually only sharing it with the night
air and various plants that happen to be nearby. SandScript is her first time attempting to
share a work of writing more publicly. She would try it again. Poetry can captivate, change,
and illuminate a heart in the subtlest yet most profound ways.
