Christopher Kastensmidt
Excerpt:
The hot lead burned a hole between my love handles.Most people think wolves don't have love handles, but we do. Us middle-aged wolves do, that is.But that's beside the point. The bullet barged in on my digestive process and I dropped like a limp, useless lump of fur--like a Furby the day after Christmas.
Bio:
I've written some things; some of them have been published. I once ate five hot dogs and a box of Nutter Butters in one sitting. Don't ask me to do it again, not even for a good cause like this.I never went to Clarion West, but a lot of my friends did, and they kick a**! And that is why I'm here.If all of that hasn't convinced you to donate in my name, I'm not sure what will.
Publications:
My novelette "The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara" was a Nebula Finalist and won the 2010 Realms of Fantasy Readers Choice Award. No one can figure out why. My fiction has polluted around twenty other places, along with some poetry and about thirty video games I worked on. If you have time to spare and a morbid curiousity, you can find them all here.
Writing Description:
Webster's defines my writing as:–noun1. nonsense; drivel.2. refuse; rubbish.3. another name for feces: This morning I stepped in a big steaming pile o' Christopher Kastensmidt's writing.
Writing Goals:
In return for your generous donation, I will write two novelettes: "Perfect Kisses" and the fifth novelette in The Elephant and Macaw Banner series: "A Preposterous Series of Captures and Rescues."I will write, damn it! I will write!
Fundraising Goals:
If you've laughed at anything you've seen here--in particular that ridiculous picture--you'd better hit that donate button right now!And if you didn't laugh at anything, you'd better donate double.Clarion West knows where you live....
