David M. Fitzpatrick is a writer from Bangor, Maine. His nearly 50 short stories have appeared in print magazines and anthologies in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. He has appeared in the same pages as Bentley Little, Gerard Hourarner, Steve Rasnic Tem, Dan Barker, and H.P. Lovecraft. After co-editing a pair of anthologies -- Unparalleled Journeys and its sequel -- he began working towards publishing small-press anthologies. Along with several local-interest anthologies, his first major title is the anthology Atheist Tales, a collection of atheist-centric speculative fiction. By day, he works as a Special Sections writer for the Bangor Daily News; by night, he teaches "Creative Writing: The Short Story" through Bangor Adult Education. He currently lives in Brewer, across the river from Bangor, where he jokes that he he hopes Stephen King's wayward Muse will mistakenly land in his house by mistake. No luck yet.
