Larry Atchley Jr

I write mostly poetry, fantasy, science fiction, and horror short stories , and I'm busy working on a couple of fantasy novels. I love to write for shared world anthology series, and am currently a regular contributor for the the Heroes in Hell series created by Janet Morris, and the Sha'Daa series created by Michael H. Hanson. I have had stories and poems published in several anthologies. You can read my blog at www.larryatchleyjr.wordpress.com. Some of my other interests include photography, Qi-Gong Kung Fu martial arts, traditional archery, fencing, philosophy, Norse mythology and sagas, paranormal studies and investigation, bicycling, hiking, reading, collecting books, collecting and sharing notable quotations. I am also a crew member under the alias Lars Shortshanks, of the group The Seadog Slam which performs the reciting of original pirate poetry and songs at various events around north Texas and beyond. I like spending time with my wife Ali, who is a writer and artist, and my daughters Alina and Leila. I grew up and live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, in Texas.
