Brian D. Hinson has abandoned all semblance of a career in 1999, opting for part-time gigs and visiting 40-some countries backpacker style. He recently slowed life even further to settle in deep rural New Mexico, USA with his wife Kathleen Eickholt and three pitbulls to gaze at sunsets and write science fiction. His tales can be found in Cast of Wonders, Cossmass Infinities, Andromeda Spaceways, On Spec Magazine, and more.  Follow him on Bluesky at @travelinbrian.bsky.social.
