Gary Kloster always loved speculative fiction.  That’s the fancy name for stories that involve lasers, or swords, or in the very best stories, laser-swords.  As a kid, he decided to try writing it, and according to Gary, “it went really badly.”

A few decades later, after a short stint as a science reference librarian, he is a stay-at-home dad who answers urgent questions like ‘When’s lunch?’ and ‘Can you find my stuff for me?’  It’s not really much different then helping the undergrads back at the University, but it can wear thin at times.  In an effort to save his sanity, and avoid housework, he has returned to writing.

He says, “I think it’s going better, this time.”
