Tom Jolly's short SF and fantasy stories have appeared (or will appear) in Analog, Daily Science Fiction, Something Wicked, Acidic Fiction, Penny Fiction, and elsewhere. He also designs board and card games, such as Wiz-War, Drakon, Cavetroll, Got It!, and Manhattan Project: Energy Empire (co-designed with Luke Laurie). When he isn't doing either of those, he's making obnoxious puzzle designs, which he encourages those with woodcrafting skills to produce (over 40 to date).

He retired as an astronautical and electrical engineer in 2015 after working at Lockheed-Martin for 27 years on launch support for the Titan program, and satellite transportation for the Payload Transportation Systems group. His first launch in February of 1986 (a Titan 34D) blew up.

He lives on 60 rather wild acres on the Central Coast of California with his wife Penny, and gets visited by cougars, black bears, bobcats, and wild turkey on occasion.
