Q&A with The Writers of Coming Unglued discussion

Hello, all, and welcome to our forum. This thread is for readers to meet, greet, and say a bit about themselves. So take a moment to tell us who you are, where you're from, what you generally enjoy reading and what drew you to Coming Unglued.

To start out the introductions, I'm Jim Snowden. I edited Coming Unglued and contributed a previously published story, "Koba's Bad Cut", to it. I was born in Santa Monica, CA, but I've lived on both coasts and a few places in between. I've been placing fiction in magazines on and off for about 20 years now. You can find my work in Pulphouse, the Seattle Review, The King's English and other places.

I started the MMIP as a podcast about three years ago, doing readings of extant works as well as original plays, adapted to audio format. We started taking fiction for readings just two years ago and starting publishing about two weeks ago. I hope that continues for a long time.

Outside of the MMIP, I'm finishing work on a novel called The Summer of Long Knives. When not writing, I obviously enjoy reading (lots of Third Reich history in the past couple of years, and lots of Soviet history in the couple of years before that), movies, hanging out at Faire with Liz and her friends, astronomy, chess, backgammon, tennis, travel and stand-up comedy.
