Tom Jolly

Tom Jolly's short SF and fantasy stories have appeared in Analog, Daily Science Fiction, Something Wicked, Compelling SF, Amazing Stories, and elsewhere. He also designs board and card games, such as Wiz-War, Drakon, Cavetroll, Got It!, Cryo, and Manhattan Project: Energy Empire (co-designed with Luke Laurie). When he isn't doing either of those, he's making obnoxious puzzle designs, which he encourages those with woodcrafting skills to produce (over 40 to date).

His next book will be "Unnatural Remedies," to be released October 2023, a sequel to his book, "An Unusual Practice."

He retired as an astronautical and electrical engineer in 2015 after working at Lockheed-Martin for 27 years on launch support for the Titan program, and satellite transportation for the Payload Transportation Systems group. His first launch in February of 1986 (a Titan 34D) blew up.

He lives in Port Orchard, WA, with his wife of 40+ years.
