Doug FranklinDoug Franklin was born and raised in Alaska, and lives there today. An obsession with spaceflight took him to MIT, where he was average at best, except in Joe Haldeman's science fiction classes, which lit him right up. Alas after publishing a few shot stories, the need to make money to pay for all the things resulted in a long hiatus from the field. One thing led to many others, but eventually he joined the pandemic's Great Resignation and returned to his old true love of writing science fiction. Since then he has published a novel - The Extrapolated Man - and sold a short story to Analog Science Fiction and Fact, with more on the way!
