About Amarillo Bay

Amarillo Bay History

Jerry Craven and Bob Whitsitt met in 1979. They've never lived closer than 100 miles apart -- and currently live nearly 2,000 miles apart -- but they have remained in contact because of the common interests of literature and computers. (The name Amarillo Bay refers to Jerry's residence in the Texas Panhandle and Bob's home in the San Jose/San Francisco Bay area.)

In the last few months of 1998 they began talking (by e-mail) about starting an online literary magazine. Jerry has published poetry magazines and has had many stories and books published. Bob has been working heavily with the Web for the last few years. So, early in 1999, they produced the first version of Amarillo Bay.
