Brief Author Bio: I write about monsters, superheroes, couples, bank robbers, babies, astronauts, paranoids, hobbyists, and other people. My first dozen or so stories have appeared in www.StrangeHorizons.com, www.futurismic.com, Black Gate, Talebones, Flytrap and Realms of Fantasy, the anthologies "From the Borderlands" and "Fantasy: The Best of the Year 2006" from Prime Books, on the podcast www.EscapePod.com, and other places. I was born near Las Vegas, USA. I started and finished my first Nanowrimo challenge on my own, in February 2005 after reading Baty's book. I wrote a 60,000 word first draft of a mainstream mock-epic, called "Bad Idea." I still haven't finished rewriting it or even come up with a good title yet. |
