Albert Wendland has made a career out of his life-long interests in science fiction--and photography, art, film, and travel. He teaches literature, popular fiction, and writing at Seton Hill University, where he has been director of its MFA in Writing Popular Fiction (the program famous for its exclusive attention on genre writing). After the release of his SF novel, "The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes," he is following with a prequel, a sequel, and a collection of poetry "written" by the protagonist of all three books. He also works in--and loves--astronomy, geology, landscape photography, SF painting, film studies, graphic novels, SF of the 50s, and "the sublime."
