Thaddeus Howze is a writer, essayist, author and professional storyteller for mysterious beings who exist in non-Euclidean realms beyond our understanding. Since they insist on constant entertainment and can’t subscribe to cable, Thaddeus writes a variety of forms of speculative fiction to appease their hunger for new entertainment.

Thaddeus’ speculative fiction has appeared in numerous anthologies: Awesome Allshorts: Last Days and Lost Ways (Australia, 2014), The Future is Short (2014), Visions of Leaving Earth (2014), Mothership: Tales of Afrofuturism and Beyond (2014), Genesis Science Fiction (2013), Scraps (UK, 2012), and Possibilities (2012).

He has written two books: a collection called Hayward’s Reach (2011) and an e-book novella called Broken Glass (2013) featuring Clifford Engram, Paranormal Investigator.

Tom is Biker (The v-twin powered kind...not a fan of peddling) that happens to enjoy writing Science Fiction and Fantasy. Yes, the world's first Biker-Nerd.

In the past, he edited and contributed to Motorcycle Magazines, Blogs and short story sites about the Biker lifestyle. He also covered events, interviewed famous custom bike-builders and artists, as well as wrote/edited hundreds of articles.

When he was encouraged by "fans" to write novels, he did...just not the ones they thought he would. His favorite books are written by authors like Jim Butcher and Frank Herbert, Modessit and Feist, Asimov and Gibson, Weber and Jordan. And he decided to write what he likes to read, so he went with his second great love for subject matter (SciFi/fantasy), instead of his first (motorcycles/biker lifestyle).

He has numerous projects in the works, including more parts to his three SciFi series "Fabric of the Universe" (Space Opera Thriller), "The Maestru Series" (Alien contacts, galactic Empire, Vampires) and his latest "ManaTech: Mages" (FantaSci and Alternate History). There may even be a "fictional" account about the Biker lifestyle.

"My political leanings, as well as my Biker credo, have seeped into my writing and that is why I believe free enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurs will advance us to the stars."

He currently reside in Wisconsin (which sucks 6 months out of the year for riding).

Ride safe, Ride often.

Author/editor of the Gulch Gazette, an online collection of short reads for people with little time.

Tell me a story that makes the impossible seem plausible or show me a truth wrapped up in a lie. Stage a conflict and I’ll side with the underdog. Make me think in ways that lead to coffee shop debates or lay out a mystery and you’ll capture my attention. Take me into the Twilight Zone where I can devour moral ironies or expand my finite comprehension of creation and beyond. From sci-fi thrillers to the woes of hobbits, werewolves, aliens and leprechauns, I am drawn to well-crafted dilemmas clothed in dreams.

Gene Roddenberry gave us a “Wagon Train to the stars,” then used his vessel to mirror human flaws disguised in the skins of alien worlds. If and when our fallen race crosses the great expanse to find new civilizations, will we carry with us the moral purity of Starship Enterprise, or will darkness in our souls pollute the cultures we find? "Blue Skins and Black Hearts" shows the good, bad and ugly side of the human race. Read it in "Visions V: Milky Way."
