| Introduction | J. Allen Wilder is a native of southern California and has lived in many places from the deserts of Arizona to the Hudson valley of New York. He currently resides somewhere in the hazy Appalachian Mountains where he is allergic to everything. He is married, has a teenager with teenicles, a guinea pig with attitude, a Jack Russell Terrier with too much energy, and, sadly, a cat with delusions of godhood who squatted in his carport and never left. He also has graduate degrees in Russian history and theology. The Girl From the El Dorado Star System is his first published novel. You can find his sci fi stories at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/jackwilder1957 and at https://www.createspace.com/4907177. |
