About the author
Fred Warren
26 books16 followersI was born in Tacoma, Washington, but spent most of my formative years in California, where my parents pastored a couple of small churches. I graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1983, and spent 22 years in the Air Force as a bomber navigator, flight-test navigator, and military educator. I retired from the Air Force in 2007, and I now work as a government contractor in eastern Kansas, providing computer simulation support for Army training.
I've been married for 25 years to the girl who should have been my high school sweetheart, and have three kids, two dogs, and a mortgage. When I'm not writing or reading, I enjoy running, hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, and playing around with computers.
Writing has always been a big part of my life, but I kept it mostly private until a few years ago, when it occurred to me that if I was ever going to get published, I needed to get serious about it. Since then, I've written more than 30 short stories that have been published in a variety of print and online magazines, and a novel, The Muse, that debuted in November 2009 from Splashdown Books. A short-story anthology called Odd Little Miracles followed in July 2011, and my latest book, The Seer, a sequel to The Muse, was published in November 2011. There’s a third novel underway.
Speculative fiction is my first love, but I write the occasional bit of non-fiction or poetry, just to keep things interesting.
