About the Author

Robert G. Ferrell was born in Houston, Texas, USA, in 1957. He holds a B.S. in Biology, (almost) an M.S. in Avian Ecology, and has drifted in and out of graduate programs in Pre-Biotic Chemistry and Medicine. He has been writing for publication since the late 1970s, garnering recognition for technical writing, fiction, poetry, and humor. He was a finalist for the Robert Benchley Society Humor Writing Award in 2011 and a semifinalist in 2012. Robert has been published in three humor anthologies: “My Funny Valentine,” “My Funny Major Medical,” and “Open Doors: Fractured Fairy Tales.” He was also a finalist for the 2012 Atlanta Review Poetry Competition, and his recent novella, “Theopraxis” was a finalist in the 2012 William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. He has been a popular columnist for ;login: magazine since 2006.

Robert lives with his wife Adrienne and roughly three cats in rural Wilson County, Texas. When not writing, Robert can be found engaged in ham radio, playing/recording music, reproducing medieval calligraphy and illumination, or doing the gob-smack in his pool.
