The requisite third-person biographicals:
Ted's fiction has appeared in Asimov's, F&SF and elsewhere. He lives with his family on the north coast of the U.S., not far from the water.
Non-third-person biographicals :
Hi, I'm Ted.
I studied biology at Indiana University but left school after my father died. Over the next several years, I moved from place to place and job to job, gradually developing one of those crazy work histories that writers so often seem to have.
Eventually, like my father and grandfather, I found work in the Indiana steel mills. I used the union's tuition reimbursement program to take courses at night and finally finished my degree.
Although my job has changed many times over the years, the need to write never has.
