Author Bio

Time to update my bio. Six short stories sold in the past 18 months. A good record from what everyone tells me. My novella, Fire and Frost, has been submitted to a publisher and another half a dozen calls are on the list for writing projects. In the next 6 weeks, I'll be packing up and moving to Everett, Washington to pursue new opportunities of employment. Planning for NaNo on top of it all, having the vague ideas for an urban fantasy story with lots of fae, magic, and a delivery company. More introspection in a later post, as a milestone has passed and I want to touch on it. First though, my new bio:

The author lives in the Pacific Northwest and spends his time writing, cooking, gaming, and following the local WHL hockey team. His interest in books and reading started early thanks to his parents, though his serious attempts at writing only started a few years ago. From time to time he blogs about writing and other related topics at The Simms Project at http://thesimmsproject.blogspot.com/. Published works can be found in the anthologies Uncommon Assassins and Zippered Flesh 2 from Smart Rhino and the upcoming anthologies: ATTACK! of the B-Movie Monsters, Someone Wicked, Astrologica: Stories of the Zodiac, and A Chimerical World: Tales of the Unseelie Court. His current project is an urban fantasy novella featuring a group of changelings in the modern world. He can be reached on Facebook or simms.doug@gmail.com.
