Michael Kingswood

Michael Kingswood has written numerous science fiction and fantasy stories, including The Pericles Conspiracy, The Glimmer Vale Chronicles, and the Dawn of Enlightenment series. His interest in scifi/fantasy came at an early age: he first saw Star Wars in the theater when he was three and grew up on Star Trek in syndication. The Hobbit was among the first books he recalls reading. Recognizing with sadness that the odds of his making it into outer space were relatively slim, after completing his bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, he did the next best thing - he entered the US Navy as a submarine officer. Almost seventeen years later, he continues to serve on active duty and has earned graduation degrees in Engineering Management and Business Administration. Fitting with his service onboard Fast Attack submarines (SSNs), he does his writing on Saturdays, Sundays, and at Night. He is married to a lovely lady from Maine. They have four children, and live wherever the Navy deems to send them.

Most folks have heard the term Christmas in July.

The suburban town where I'm stationed is run by smart-alecks, though, so Lockwood has Christmas on the solstice. Because symmetry of timing and rigid thinking.

What most people don't know is the concept, whether fun or annoyingly pedantic, derives from a real necessity of the Big Guy's battle rhythm. Can't keep reindeer cooped up too long or they go stir crazy, taking to biting and being generally grumpy.

So every summer they go on tour to stretch their legs, and do a little PR for the Big Guy's operation.

When that happens, someone's got to provide security against the Elf problem. This summer, the job fell to me. I'm Dustin Cofield, and I'm an Elfsterminator.

Most days I work out of a small eight by eight office in a Wells Fargo branch. When I'm there, I dress like a banker in a nice custom-tailored suit and I at least put on the appearance of doing banking things. Attending staff meetings, things like that.

But I don't really work for the bank.
