a librarian, an editor, a sysop, an editor and a resource specialist for a
statewide electronic bulletin board system.
In no particular order he has been a reviewer -- of music, of books and of
typewriters -- a reporter, an editor, a professional chess tournament director, a librarian, an editor, a sysop, an editor and a resource specialist for a
statewide electronic bulletin board system.
In 1973 he attended the Clarion West Writing Workshop in Seattle.
He married Baltimore area science fiction fan Sue Nice in 1975. They divorced in 1979.
He and Sharon Lee married in 1980, operated The Dreams Garth Art Agency for
several years, and later migrated to -- and are still living in -- Maine, with
four cats, more computer equipment than two normal people need, a lot of books
and almost as much music.
In 1978, she decided life was too tame and predictable, left her plush job and opened a bookstore with the money from her retirement fund.
After Book Castle went bankrupt, she worked a series of odd and odder jobs, the most memorable of which was delivering tractor trailers, though selling cider at the Baltimore City Sunday Farmer's Market was fun, too. On the odder side, she worked as an advertising copy writer, both in-house and freelance.
In 1980, she and partner Steve Miller married their fortunes, books, records and cats together.
In 1988, Sharon, Steve, the cats, some of the books, most of the records and
both of the computers moved to Maine. And there they all still are, rumors of
a divorce and of Steve's demise being wildly exaggerated.
