G. Richard Bozarth was born in ’49 in Lakewood, CA. He didn’t get out of California until joining the US Marine Corps in 1967. His nine years in included one spent in a support unit in Da Nang, Vietnam, from ’69 to ’70. In ’78 he moved to Texas to be the press operator for Madalyn Murray O’Hair’s American Atheist Center. He got married on April 15th, 1979 for the second time and this one is still going strong. His day job has been in printing for 29 years, and he writes as much as he can without putting his marriage in danger. He writes mostly nonfiction now, but his first literary love is sci-fi and that love also is still going strong.
