Brian D. Hinson abandoned a lame a career in 1999, opting for part-time gigs and visiting 40-some countries in the backpacker fashion. He recently slowed life even further to settle in rural New Mexico, USA with his wife Kathleen Eickholt and three pit bulls to gaze at sunsets and write science fiction. His stories can be enjoyed in Cossmass Infinities, Andromeda Spaceways, and Shoreline of Infinity.
