Ian Randal Strock is an author and editor, and he's frequently confused as to which hat he's wearing. The Presidential Book of Lists is his first book, drawing on his life-long passion for US history, the Presidents, and trivia, but he still thinks of himself as a science fiction author and editor. As an author, most of his stories have been published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact. As an editor and reporter, he edits and publishes SFScope.com (the online trade journal of the speculative fiction fields). He's also available for speaking appearances, talking about the Presidents, writing, or manned commercial space industrialization (yes, he's also one of the founders of the Artemis Project).In addition to his blog uspresidents.livejournal.com, which is echoed here, his more personal blog is at ianrandalstrock.livejournal.com. He's also on Facebook, and, well, spreading himself thin in the electronic realm.
