Paul B. Spence

I'm an archaeologist and writer, currently living in New Mexico.

I'm an avid fan of anything science fiction, books, tabletop RPGS, PlayStation games, LARPing, SCA, and lots of other things that take up too much time.

I get asked a lot about my inspirations, well, that could take a while. I've read thousands of books. My strongest inspirations would have to be the works of Roger Zelazny, Andre Norton, H.P. Lovecraft, and E.E. "Doc" Smith. I also love the stories of Robert A. Heinlein and Anne McCaffrey among many others.

Like most authors, I've had an eclectic career path. I've worked as a retail gofer, a food service monkey, brute laborer, a rennie, a writer for the RPG industry, and many other rewarding jobs that didn't pay enough to feed me or my cats.

I have degrees in geology, cultural anthropology, and archaeology. I love science.

I really love archaeology, and no, I haven’t found any tombs with ancient evils lurking.

I plan to keep it that way!
