- I have been a member of the Washington Science Fiction Association for over 20 years and have been involved in running Capclave since the first one in 2001, and have chaired it three times. I’ve been a fan of both media and literary SFF my whole life, ever since my mother fed me as an infant while watching Star Trek:TOS on its original broadcast run, thus forever associating SFF and happiness in my mind. Star Wars and Dr. Who were my first major obsessive fandoms. I was part of the bid to bring Worldcon back to DC and ended up as Facilities Division Head for DisCon III. I was also an Area Head for Facilities for Chicon 8, and am part of the bid to bring Worldcon back to LA in 2026. I’ve also worked on several World Fantasy Conventions. So I guess conrunning is now one of my fandoms. Not sure how that happened.

He is author of THE MASK OF THE SORCERER, THE DRAGON HOUSE, THE WHITE ISLE, and THE SHATTERED GODDESS plus about 350 published stories, which have appeared in venues as diverse as AMAZING STORIES, TWILIGHT ZONE MAGAZINE, INTERZONE, POSTSCRIPTS and the Black Wings anthology series (all seven volumes so far). Recently PS Publishing issued a two-volume career retrospective of his best short fiction, THE MYSTERIES OF THE FACELESS KING and THE LAST HERETIC. He has been active as a critic and reviewer for many years and is still a regular contributor to THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION and DEAD RECKONINGS. His most recent essay collection is THE THRESHOLD OF FOREVER. As an editor, he worked with the late George Scithers on ASIMOV’S SF and AMAZING, and co-edited WEIRD TALES for 19 years. He has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award four times and won it once (with George, for WEIRD TALES). He is presently an active anthologist. Most of his recent anthologies seem to have tentacles, i.e. are Lovecraft-themed, the most recent being SHADOWS OUT OF TIME from PS Publishing. With all these publications from INTERZONE, POSTSCRIPTS, New English LIbrary, PS Publishing, etc. he might have some claim to being a famous British writer, except his accent is entirely unconvincing. His most recent book is SPEAKING OF THE FANTASTIC V, a collection of previously unreprinted author interviews from the ’70s and ’80s.
