Adam Skuos is child to parents, and parent to a child.
He has had the dubious pleasure of waiting in line on every continent, and has identified that one of the common elements shared by the vast majority of societies in the world is the love of repetitive complicated procedures.
He developed a writing habit to reign in a complicated imagination, not to mention as an effort to make those endless airport wait times go by less slowly, and recently decided to venture forth into the world of publishing.
He has not won any awards yet.
