Scott Fazekas spent far too much time trying to write something witty and off-the-cuff for this, his first website, before he realized that had pretty much ruined the whole notion of spontaneity.
At any rate, he is married with children, which means he has less than $5 in his wallet at any given time. His son is a much better athlete than he ever was in his prime, and his daughter is far more creatively talented. He lives in Potomac, MD, in a part of the town that is inside the Rockville city limits but is listed as Potomac (no, really) with the Post Office.
Scott has served in the Marines for the past 19 years, first as an infantryman. He fought in the first Gulf War. He's now serving in public affairs and fights wars of a sort on a daily basis. He's had some tremendous tours of duty in fantastic places like Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; Monterey Bay, CA; Jena and Stuttgart, Germany; and Camp Lejeune, NC. His current assignment is in a cubbyhole in the Pentagon, which when he thinks about it is not really all that bad, considering.
He's been writing for just two years and is astonished at how much he's enjoyed it. In August of 2003, he made a sort of bet with himself; if he could sell a story for any amount of money within 6 months, he'd give this writing thing a shot. His first story "Jason's Demons" appeared in the Nov, 2003 issue of AlienSkin magazine. Scott also reviews books for SFReader.com.
Scott now spends his spare time with his family, or writing, or reading, but mostly just wishing he could still play football. This aging thing, he's come to think, is not all it's cracked up to be.

No one's ever really written anything about Scott's writing yet--at least, that he knows about. He suspects it's partly due to the fact that very few people have read these pieces, and partly due to the fact that he's got just 8 stories published in toto. Still, that's 8 pieces more than he'd expected, so that's a good thing.
