Marc A Criley

Marc Criley spent decades writing software for pay and for fun, all the while avidly reading fantasy and science fiction. In his early 50s he decided to cut back on the former and try his hand at writing the latter. After a couple years of rejections Marc sold his first story to semi-pro market Abyss & Apex, and a few months later made his first pro sale to Beneath Ceaseless Skies. He has gone on to sell additional stories to publications such as Galaxy's Edge, Cossmass Infinities, Shoreline of Infinity, and several others. Marc is a member of SFWA and the Codex writers group. He and his wife live in the hills of North Alabama where they "manage" a houseful of cats. Marc maintains a blog at kickin-the-darkness.com, which includes a bibliography of his published stories and haiku. He is very noisy on Twitter as @That_MarcC, foisting all manner of art, archaeology, politics, computers, space, Alabama, and cat pics onto an unsuspecting Twitterverse.
