عن المؤلف
D.C. Lozar writes fiction that emphasizes perspective, imagery, and layered plot lines to create fantastical worlds and uncanny heroes/heroines. A fan of pulps from the 1920-30’s, his storylines pit unimaginable technologic advances against humanity’s tenacious refusal to become evolutionary road kill.
