Robert Bose grew up on a farm in southern Alberta spending every free moment reading Tolkien, Heinlein, Leiber, Asimov, and whatever else he could get his grubby paws on. His genre-spanning fiction has been published in a variety of anthologies and his first short story collection, Fishing with the Devil, is now available from Coffin Hop Press. Robert is currently word bashing many literary projects while ultra-running, annoying his wife, raising three troublesome children, and working as the Technical Architect for an energy software company.
