Blake Hutchins lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, two daughters, four cats, and one large dog who very much wants to join the cats on lap sojourns. Blake’s previous stints include public defender, teacher, videogame designer/writer, firefighter, and software executive. Writing, he thinks, is harder. His fiction has appeared in Writers of the Future, Vol. 22, Polyphony, and Blood, Blade & Thruster. He also has a number of computer game credits and currently works as a freelance writer in the industry.  His website is at www.blakehutchins.com, and you can email him at hexabolic@gmail.com.
