Andrew Dykstal lives in northern Virginia, where he works as a technical editor, wanders the streets, and misses his Metro stops because his nose is in a book. His science fiction and fantasy have appeared in L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Volume 35 (he was the Golden Pen winner in 2019), Daily Science Fiction, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Years before the associated meme, he took an arrow to the knee, and a bit of unreality got into his blood. These things happen. You can find out more at his website, andrewdykstal.com.
