As a security contractor, government civilian and military officer, Myke Cole's career has run the gamut from counter-terrorism to cyber warfare to federal law enforcement. He’s done three tours in Iraq and was recalled to serve during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. All that conflict can wear a guy out. Thank goodness for fantasy novels, comic books, late night games of Dungeons and Dragons and lots of angst-fueled writing.
Robert J. Howe has published short fiction in Salon.com; the magazines Analog, Black Gate, Electric Velocipede, Pulphouse, and Weird Tales; the anthologiesHappily Ever After and Newer York, and elsewhere. Howe is the editor, with John Ordover, of the anthology Coney Island Wonder Stories. He is a longtime SFWA member and is just completing his second year as secretary. Howe is a graduate of the journalism program at Brooklyn College, and the Clarion Writer's Workshop at Michigan State University.
Between 1976 and 1980, Howe served in the U.S. Coast Guard aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Cape George, on the Aids to Navigation Team Woods Hole, and the Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin. He was (honorably!) discharged as a petty officer third class. He is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and now works in higher education communications.
The New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series provides performances from some of the best writers in science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, etc. The series usually takes place the first Tuesday of every month, but maintains flexibility in time and place, so be sure to stay in touch through the mailing list and the Web.
After the event, please join us as we treat our readers for dinner and drinks nearby.
