R.S. Hunter

R.S. Hunter fell in love with science fiction when he watched Star Wars with his grandmother as a small child. From then on there was no turning back. To escape suburban life he turned to stories that took him on wild adventures through time, space, worlds both real and imagined. While he knows space combat won't work the same way as it does in the movies, he still hopes that someday he'll get his own X-Wing or TARDIS.

His short fiction has appeared in anthologies like Abaculus III, Growing Dread: Biopunk Visions, and the forthcoming In Situ. One reviewer commented that his story "Strike Breakers" from 20,001 A Steampunk Odyssey gave "an unsettling but profoundly necessary foundation to the prettier ideas of steampunk [...] because it shows us that it's not just gleaming brass." Hunter's tales love to answer the question "What if?" and they rarely end well for the protagonist.
