Bruno Lombardi was born in Montreal in 1968. He has had a rather distressing tendency to be a weirdness magnet for much of his adult life. If your friend's cousin's brother-in-law tells you a story and swears it's true and that it 'happened to someone he knows', it was probably Bruno.His hobbies include attempting to dissuade the cults that form around him, managing the betting pool on the next Weird Thing, and being a slave to his two cats, Mynx and Sphinx. He currently lives in Ottawa and works as a civil servant for the Canadian government. Rumours that he secretly runs the Canadian government from his nuclear bunker with an android called 'Stephen Harper' as a front have never been substantiated and are merely rumours. Honestly.He has also met lots of people off the internet and has yet to be murdered by any of them; his cats on the other hand have other ideas."Snake Oil," published by Daverana Enterprises, is his first published novel. A second edition of "Snake Oil," published by Martinus Publishing, is now available. His short story 'A Thursday Night at Doctor What's Time and Relative Dimensional Space Bar and Grill' appears in "The Temporal Element" anthology.His short story 'Gold Fever' appears in the "Quests, Curses, & Vengeance" anthology.His short stories 'A Single Decision' and 'The Road was lit with Moon and Star' appears in the "Altered America" anthology.His short stories 'A Company of Deaths' and 'Rendezvous' appears in the "To Hell with Dante" anthology. His short story 'For the Times They Are A-Changin'' appears in the "Yarr! A Space Pirate Anthology"He can be reached on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bruno-Lombardi-Author-Page/434916096583689
