World Of Wordcraft (WOW) had the great good fortune to be born to a mother who had a love of reading, and who passed that love of reading on to her son. "Without the love of books, even the richest man is poor." WOW wrote his first two science-ficion novels when he was 18 and 19, but after attempting to sell each to just a handful of publishers, he abandoned his dream of writing for a living. Twenty years later, WOW has resumed his quest to make a living out of wordcraft, via the internet.
