Ray Tabler is a retired engineer and author, originally from Louisville, Kentucky. He chased the north-bound dollar to Michigan because of a tragic addiction to a steady paycheck, where he married a lovely Yankee girl. Several decades later, despite the siren call of warmer climes, Ray might be permanently lodged in the frozen north. Ray’s short fiction can be found in the pages of The Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Baen’s Universe, and Cosmic Crime Stories. He has published two novels (A Grand Imperial War, and Fool’s Paradise) with Ring of Fire Press, soon to be available from Novus Mundi Publications. A sequel to A Grand Imperial War is in the on-deck circle, and a couple more novels are currently being detailed before hitting the showroom floor.
