Chuck Von Nordheim served in the US Air Force for 22 years as an F-4 radar mechanic. He can
neither confirm nor deny the warehousing of alien technology on hidden desert bases, but can, as
a result of his military experiences, attest to the mythically sweltering temperatures the Mojave
can produce. Since 2007, Chuck has frequently sojourned to Lawrence, Kansas, to attend the
fiction-writing workshops sponsored by the Center for the Study of Science Fiction. While he
remains dubious that he learned anything useful about the craft of writing in Lawrence, he can
verify receipt of excellent schooling in the appreciation of Kentucky whiskey and the work of
shlock master Luigi Cozzi.
