A native of Wisconsin and Connecticut, DT deserted aspirations of being a biologist to live the corporate dream and raise a family.  After six homes, a ten-year stint in Singapore and Taiwan, and an imagination that never slept, his writing muse refused to be hobbled as a mere dream. A member of the Bethlehem Writers Group, DT writes science fiction and alternate-world fantasy, and manages social media for the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group.

Header Graphic: The Library.  Photographer Lori Nix, is a self-described, non-traditional photographer who constructs her subjects (rather than look for them).  From her collection “The City”, The Library is an imagined city of our future, where something either natural or as the result of mankind, has emptied the city of its human inhabitants. The walls are deteriorating, the ceilings are falling in, the structures barely stand, yet Mother Nature is slowly taking them over. These spaces are filled with flora, fauna and insects, reclaiming what was theirs before man’s encroachment. You can learn more about Lori’s works at www.lorinix.com.
