Walt Socha is a recent retiree (escapee?) from the high tech silicon industry. He has short stories published in Spaceports & Spidersilk, Beyond Centarui, Aurora Wolf, Aoife's Kiss' Cover of Darkness anthology, and the 2015 Northwest Independent Writers Association's Anthology: ASYLUM. He continues to write sort stories while working on an Alternative History series set in the 11th Century.

Walt lives in Portland, Oregon with his artist wife Gretha and two cats named Schiz and Zoid. When not writing, he plays jazz piano, makes sacrifices to the Food Chain Goddess (...weeding the vegetable garden...), and cleans litter boxes.
