About the Author
I've been writing since my early teens. I have a collection of unpublished poems and essays going back to the 1970s. I used to read at the Coffee Gallery in San Francisco with the last of the Beat Poets.
I also grew up reading comic books, and my favorite superhero was Daredevil. I also enjoyed reading the science fiction of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and later, William Gibson. I Robot by Asimov, and Neuromancer, along with the other books of the Sprawl trilogy had the biggest influence on my sci-fi cyberpunk writing style.
