I've published a book (Rumors of Existence) on the rarest and least-known animals in the world. From 1994 to 1999, I edited a quarterly newsletter, Exotic Zoology, which covered new, rediscovered, and unconfirmed animal species around the world. I had to close EZ so I could focus on books, including a sequel to Rumors. That sequel, Shadows of Existence, is under consideration by a larger publisher, but I have no publication date yet. I have published two articles in FATE on cryptozoology (one in July 1990 on reports of a variety of "monsters," one in November 2000 on the animal discoveries made over the last decade in Southeast Asia) and an article "The Definitive Sea Serpent," in the online version of STRANGE magazine. Having an interest in military history, I also published a FATE article, "The Strangest War," on mysteries of World War II. I regularly publish professional papers and articles on space policy and technology. I have one book on space history due out, co-authored with satellite engineer Erika Lishock. The NASA History Office will sponsor publication of The First Space Race: Launching the World's First Satellite, a book on the "satellite race" between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in the late 1950s. (Our article on the same topic was published in August 2000 in the spaceflight history magazine Quest.) The First Space Race will be published by Texas A&M University Press in Spring 2004. Finally, I have been a freelance contributor to the NATURE Yearbook of Science and Technology, the Gale Research Co. reference book Notable 20th-Century Scientists, and Grzimek's Animal Encyclopaedia. I have degrees in public administration and space systems management, having attended the University of Southern California, Webster University, and the University of North Dakota. I served 12 years as an Air Force officer before moving in 1994 to Colorado, where I spent seven years with the non-profit research firm ANSER before moving to Booz Allen in 2001. I am married with two daughters. []
