Rob Preece's writings reflect his many interests--long distance bicycling, martial arts, magic, and technology. After working for the government and surviving the telecom meltdown, he now writes full time and is publisher for www.BooksForABuck.com He's a fan of fantasy and science fiction, spent months trying to build a staff that would work like Gandalfs (and studied Bo fighting) and does magic tricks on dates. Yeah, he should probably stick with writing.
