J.L. Smyser

…But not very good at either of them. He much prefers writing, editing, and publishing for BFQ. He squeezes in his writing on any scraps of paper, and his notes app is filled with ideas that won’t ever be deleted “just in case.” The cats that use him as furniture are his muses. His goals in life are to invent a word that gets into the dictionary, craft the ultimate pun, write a story for Star Wars, and become immortal. He thinks he’s close to completing one of them soon but won’t say which. On any given day, you can find him somewhere in Colorado trying his best.

The curious reader will be able to find his short stories in various anthologies, or other works he helped bring into the world at bfqpub.com.
