I write mostly poetry, fantasy, science fiction, and horror short stories , and I'm busy working on a couple of fantasy novels. I love to write for shared world anthology series, and am currently writing for the the Heroes in Hell series created by Janet Morris, and the Sha'Daa series created by Michael H. Hanson. You can read my blog at www.larryatchleyjr.wordpress.com. Some of my other interests include photography, Qi-Gong Kung Fu martial arts, traditional archery, fencing, philosophy, Norse mythology and sagas, paranormal studies and investigation, bicycling, hiking, reading, collecting rare books, collecting and sharing notable quotations, and spending time with my family. My wife, Sussie Atchley, is a professional freelance photographer, and my daughter Alina, is an artist and jewelry maker. We live with our two terriers, Frodo and Rosie, and our cat Prue, in the Mid-Cities suburbs of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, in Texas.
