When he was young and impressionable, Keith R.A. DeCandido's parents gave him %%A,J. R. R. Tolkien%%, %%A,Ursula K. Le Guin%%, %%A,Robert A. Heinlein%%, and P. G. Wodehouse to read. He was doomed.

For four wonderful years, he served as cohost, coproducer, and comics critic for the acclaimed New York City science fiction talk show The Chronic Rift. He lives with his lovely and much more talented wife on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
