J.Micheal Matuszewicz
J.Michael describes himself as:
DWM, 6'4", 240lbs, Dark Brown hair (what there is of it (I'm not
officially bald (yet))). Personality like a Teddy Bear (completely
stuffed). Born in the Year of the Snake. Likes: old movies, cats, 70s
Rock. Dislikes: sports, dogs, Country & Western.
Okay, I know that doesn't really help, but I'm just a plain old guy, and
there isn't anything that can make me sound interesting.
I had stories in Asimov's and Amazing in the 80s. I'm changing my
one story in Realms of Fantasy (August, 1998) into a novel, but
obviously it's a bigger project than I imagined.

Keir Alekseii Roopnarine is the only daughter of Clint (who used to
raise alligators in the wilds of Brasso-Caparo, Trinidad) and Angeli (an
attractive bookworm and geek of the highest order). Being raised by
them, it seems obvious that her life would be both interesting and
exciting. So far, it has been. She's currently in her sophomore year at
Florida Tech, studying Molecular Biology. "Silver Burdens" was
written years ago during her time at Bishop Anstey High School, as a
CXC student. This is her first fiction publication. Her second, "The
Clock Tower Girl," is upcoming in the August issue of The Written
Word.
