Jeff Somers writes so you don't have to.
Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, as a child he
imagined he would be a brain surgeon, until a spirit-crushing
experience convinced him that in order to be a brain surgeon he would
have to actually attend school, work hard, and master basic
mathematics. After a severe head trauma, he chose instead to write
stories and learn the high art of cocktail mixing, and spent the next
twenty years in a pleasant haze of fiction and booze. He is the creator
of the zine The Inner
Swine, and the author of the books Lifers, The Freaks are
Winning, The
Electric Church, and The Digital Plague, not to mention numerous short stories.
He currently lives in Hoboken, NJ, with his lovely
wife Danette and their plump, imperious cats Pierre, Oliver, Guenther, and Spartacus. Jeff insists the cats would be delicious.
In-between all this and writing too, Jeff plays
chess and staves off despair with cocktails.
