I live somewhere in West Virginia, USA, do some things, and remain vaguely anonymous for no particular reason. As we all know, the internet is commonly used only to help restrain an author's illogical desire to stand curbside spouting unrequested opinions. Thus, if this doesn't meet your standards, you should lower your standards.

Since most writers carry around a pocketful of personalities, I have 3.

The refined, ageless, and wonderful baby boy was born in the world all those years ago. He’s the one who cashes checks and looks good doing it.

My second one is Mortimer T. Graves. A storyteller. I love to tell scary stories like the ones we all loved to tell around the campfire (They call them flash fiction now, but we know the truth, it's just spooky campfire fun dressed in fancy clothes.). I have a somewhat unhealthy/immense fascination with horror movies, serial killers, and all things macabre (depending on how you view these 3 things). But hey, normal is boring.

The third is Uncle Bufford Solomon (BS to most). I'm old, sometimes cranky, funny a lot of the time, always honest. A curmudgeon that always has a story to tell. Born a hillbilly, raised with common sense. Dipped in awesomeness and dried off with incredibleness. But then to be a national icon, and world treasure, you must be.

Take your pick; or don’t. Either way, I’ll still be here, doing vaguely important things in this strange corner of the Mountain State.

A lifelong lover of all things Sci-Fi/Fantasy, B.S. Roberts (he/him) devotes his time to the genre by reading, watching, listening to, and creating everything that he possibly can in the genre. He prefers stories that include less-represented characters not cut out from the same mold and strives to create works representing all walks of life.

He has a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts with minors in history and behavioral studies, a master’s in Intradisciplinary Studies focusing on folklore and ethnography, and a graduate certificate in digital curation.

To break up the time, he also paints with both oils and acrylics, draws with pencil and Sharpie, and dabbles in photography. When not indulging in magic, futuristic technology, or the arts, he makes a living as a museum curator and an administrative assistant at the University of Maine at Augusta. When schedules allow, he plays pen and paper RPGs and board games.

He has short stories and poetry published in various magazines and literary journals online and in print, including From the Depths, In Parentheses, antiLang, What Rough Beast, and more.

B.S. Roberts lives in Maine with his wife, daughter, tortoise, silver pheasants, and cats. You can check out his current and upcoming projects by visiting him at www.BSRoberts.com
