Jeff Somers

Jeff Somers was first sighted in Jersey City, New Jersey after the destruction of a classified government installation in the early 1970s; the area in question is still too radioactive to go near. When asked about this, he will only say that he regrets nothing. He is the author of Lifers, the Avery Catesseries from Orbit Books (avery-cates.com), Chum from Tyrus Books, and The Ustari Cyclefrom Pocket/Gallery, including We Are Not Good People. Jeff's published over thirty short stories as well; his story "Sift, Almost Invisible, Through" appeared in the anthology Crimes by Moonlight, published by Berkley Hardcover and edited by Charlaine Harris, and his story "Ringing the Changes" was selected for The Best American Mystery Stories2006. He survives on the nickels and quarters he regularly finds behind his ears, his guitar playing is a plague upon his household, and his lovely wife The Duchess is convinced he would wither and die if left to his own devices, but this is only half true. Today, he makes beer money by writing amazing things for various people. Favorite whiskey: Glenmorangie 10 Year. Yes, it is acceptable to pay him in it.
