A science-fiction fan since childhood, Bascomb credits his interest in science, engineering, and invention to the science fiction stories he read as a child.

A resident of North Carolina's Outer Banks, A.P searches for that unique element that twists the everyday commonplace into the weird. When he's not writing fiction, he composes music, dabbles in animation, and muses about theology and mind-hacking, all while watching way too many online movies.

John M. Campbell speculates on the worlds currently unknown to us that science and engineering may unlock. He is compelled by the promise technology offers to address many of the issues facing human survival. The prospect of extraterrestrial life in our solar system on Mars and the outer planets fascinates him. He finds intriguing the likelihood that machine intelligence will likely surpass mankind’s ability to control it in this century. Inspiration for his stories often comes from the strange realities of quantum physics and cosmology.

John grew up reading science fiction and loved imagining a future extrapolated from what is now known. He hopes his stories will inspire careers in science and engineering as the authors he read inspired his career.

John lives with his wife in Denver, Colorado. Access his website at www.JohnMCampbell.com.

HOPE EVERYONE IS ENJOYING 2019 SO FAR!

CIRSOVA MAGAZINE #7 is now available, with my Heroic SF Adventure Story, "The Great Culling Emporium". Check it out!

My Kindle Novella, the Native American/Sioux Indian Dystopian SciFi story, "All Legends Start In The Sky", is only $.99 - and another fun story if you like SF Adventure!

Amazon has done better with my book pages, and has most of my books listed on the first couple pages. (Although if you're a Marilyn Monroe or Marilyn Manson fan - they're still in here somewhere!)

TRIVIA: If you decide to check out the reviews on the older Third Flatiron anthos, be sure and notice the reviews by my favorite comedian (now deceased *sniff*) "Robina Williams".

Judith Field was born in Liverpool and lives in London. She is the daughter of writers, and learned how to agonise over fiction submissions at her mother’s (and father’s) knee.

She has two daughters, a son, a granddaughter and a grandson (who inspired her first published story when he broke her laptop keyboard. Unlike in the story, a magical creature didn’t come out of the laptop and fix her life). Her fiction, mainly speculative, has appeared in a variety of publications, mainly in the USA. She speaks five languages and can say, “Please publish this story” in all of them. She is also a pharmacist, freelance journalist, editor, medical writer, and indexer.
