Carly Morgan joined Associated Content in December and is already a Featured Contributor in both Travel and Weddings and has published nearly 90 pieces of content. When she is not publishing on AC, she maintains her own popular Disney weddings blog. Don't miss her intensely personal and important piece, "I'm Bulimic: The True Story of a Fifteen Year Struggle with Bulimia."

Featured Mental Health Contributor, former law enforcement officer and crime novelist, Asher Kade, takes his pieces to the next level-adding extensive personal experience and in-depth interviews to his extremely well-researched and -written pieces. Make sure to read his piece, "What Every American Needs to Know About Pakistan."

Donald Allen has traveled all over the world during his 12 years in the military, and that worldly perspective is readily apparent in his over 50 piece of outstanding content. Don't miss his expert advice in "Travel Safety: Defending Yourself While Traveling Abroad."

As a Featured Shopping & Fashion and Video Games Contributor, Lori May brings a unique perspective to her content. From "Top 5 Punk Prom Dress Vendors" to "GameCrush: Gaming Social Network or Disguised Video Dating?," all of her pieces think outside the box.

Shane Smith has nailed in just over 1 month what takes most Contributors many months, if not years to master-she writes great SEO-friendly web content on things that genuinely interest her. Her Arts & Entertainment content is informative, well-researched and timely and it's earned her a spot in our Hot 500. For her take on the recent Lindsay Lohan situation, check out "Dina and Michael Lohan Faceoff Over Lindsay's Self Destruction."
