(Alvaro Zinos-Amaro) alvaro_z (at) hotmail (dot) com grew up in Europe, mostly, which makes him a little weird right off the bat. He was crazy enough to earn a BS in Physics and study creative writing. In between trying to figure out what it all means (and he’s really really close), Alvaro has a full-time job that pays for stuff but prevents him from spending all his time writing and drooling over stories by some of his favorite sf writers, like Robert Silverberg, James Patrick Kelly, Robert Reed, and Michael Swanwick. He recently made his first fiction sale to Atomjack Magazine.
