About Me
Lover of Altoids. Provider of warm lap for two older cats. Tickler of of two small children. I'm Scott William Carter, and lots of labels could apply to me. However, writer is the main one. I've published short stories in such places as Ellery Queen, Analog, Asimov’s, and Weird Tales, as well as in anthologies by Pocket Books and DAW. My own first novel, The Last Great Getaway of the Water Balloon Boys, is forthcoming from Simon and Schuster.
