William Mangieri

William Mangieri is a karaoke junkie, former theater student, and recovered wargamer whose voices pester him with lots of "what if?" and "why not?" questions. He's currently engaged in what he prefers to call his midlife renaissance, and has chosen to focus his creative energies mostly in the science fiction and fantasy genres, although he's more interested in exploring ideas and letting the story decide what genre it is.

He published his first novel (Swordsmaster) in 2019; prior to this, he has honed his skills on short fiction. He has been published in Daily Science Fiction, The Arcanist, and Flash Fiction Magazine. Seven of his stories have earned Honorable Mentions in the Writers of the Future contest.

William writes from Texas, where he lives with his wife and the ghost of a 9-pound westie who keeps them in line.
