Once a software engineer in Silicon Valley, I now write speculative fiction and run puzzle games in the Pacific Northwest.

My debut novel WAYPOINT KANGAROO, a science fiction spy thriller, is coming this June from Thomas Dunne Books: http://www.WaypointKangaroo.com

Meanwhile, you can get a FREE Kindle eBook of THURSDAY'S CHILDREN (a collection of my "512 Words or Fewer" flash fiction) when you sign up for my mailing list: http://curtiscchen.com/newsletter

Since 2010, I've helped organize Puzzled Pint, a casual puzzling event which happens every month in cities around the world: http://www.PuzzledPint.com

I'm a graduate of the Clarion West and Viable Paradise writing workshops, and an Active Member of SFWA.

I am not an aardvark.
