C. M. Stultz was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico (that's in the USA, folks), grew up in several places as an Air Force dependent, wandered some more as a young adult, and finally settled in the western half of Washington (also a state). He's been telling and writing stories all his life, and actually finished a few. He now divides his attention between a sort of "semi-retirement," his friends and extensive family, and writing and editing his own works and those he writes with a collaborator.
