Michael J. DeLuca lives in Boston for the nonce, surrounded by civil war era graveyards and ramshackle taverns as far as the eye can see. He brews beer, bakes bread, hugs trees, builds websites, and operates weightlessbooks.com, a fledgling indie ebook site. His short fiction has appeared, among other places, in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Interfictions, Abyss & Apex, and most recently in the premiere issue of the French webzine Onirismes. He attended the Odyssey Writing Workshop in 2005, and is a member of The Homeless Moon writers’ cabal. Read his blog at michaeljdeluca.com.
