Rustin Lovewell is a native New Englander now living in Maryland with his wife, two daughters, and overly yappy dog/mobile alarm system. Full of contradictions, he is an immunologist when not writing fantasy stories, a soccer player when not board gaming, and a snowboarder if he can ever find enough snow. Rustin has been an avid reader since he discovered Tom Swift’s incredible inventions and the nightmares hidden within the pages of Goosebumps. His favorite stories have always been those that pointed left and then twisted right, only to twist yet again, before finally knocking the reader out with a “Luke, I am your father” roundhouse. After reading several such pieces, he wondered if he could come up with one of his own. He did, and he wrote it, and it was awful. Of course, that’s how it starts. He’s loved trying to get it right ever since.
