E(ugene).C. Myers was assembled in the U.S. from Korean and German parts. He was raised by a single mother and a public library in Yonkers, New York, where he survived an improbable number of life-threatening experiences—most miraculously, high school—with ample scars as proof.
He graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Visual Arts, which was no use at all in his subsequent job as a technical writer. After a year on Wall Street, he abandoned software development for a career in cable television. He has helped to deliver quality women’s programming for the past nine years while writing science fiction and fantasy short stories. His work has been published in a number of magazines and anthologies such as Sybil’s Garage, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Sporty Spec: Games of the Fantastic, and Touched by Wonder: A Symphony of Fantastic Tales. His romantic short story featuring horny zombies, “In the Closet”, received an Honorable Mention in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror 2008, and he has also been a finalist in L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest.
He is a graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop and an active participant in a professional writing group, Altered Fluid, which appears frequently on Jim Freund’s Hour of the Wolf radio show on WBAI to perform live workshop critiques for insomniac listeners. He currently lives in New York City, where he is working on several young adult novels in various stages of completion. In the rest of his imaginary leisure time, he edits the Clarion West alumni newsletter, The Seventh Week, and blogs for Tor.com, along with other literary extracurricular activities that prevent him from getting enough sleep.
He considers himself an avid reader, media junkie, video gamer, amateur photographer, mediocre artist, and animation otaku; his impressive video collection is legendary in some circles.
