Jeff Duntemann

Jeff Duntemann's father was an engineer who wanted to know how things worked, his mother read SF to him from an early age, and his tinkerer uncle was happy to give him bits and pieces of stuff and show him how they could be assembled to make radios and telescopes. When he was ten, his grandmother gave him her ancient Underwood typewriter, enabling him to put his fascination with words and gadgets to good use.

Jeff wrote two Hugo-nominated short stories in the 1970s, then took a quarter-century detour into editing, writing, and publishing computer books and magazines. He has recently resumed writing science fiction with his story "Drumlin Boiler in Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. The Cunning Blood is his first published novel.

Jeff lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Carol, and a variable number of dogs.
