About the Author

Rich Wingerter is a retired business analyst and new writer of science fiction and speculative fiction. He lives with Kathryn in Forest Grove, OR.

Rich first became interested in science fiction in eighth grade when he discovered many classical science fiction books in the school library. Now, he has a growing collection of short stories that range from the hard science fiction Murder in Strawberry to the mythology of Platée the Plain. He is working on a time travel novel.

Rich graduated from Mount Union College (now University of Mount Union) in Alliance, OH, with an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts. He worked for minicomputer maker Data General and Silicon Valley startup Clarify, where he consulted with international consulting firms and with GE and other large organizations, as well as other startups.

For Rich, a typical story starts with “What would it be like if...”. And then, the journey begins.
