Under the pen name of Chrome Oxide I write humorous science fiction and fantasy. However, I've been accused of writing murder mysteries since I murder the English language and it's a mystery how I get published.
When people ask why I write humorous science fiction and fantasy, I explain that my reality check bounced.

LIT UP: A Conversation between OC Writers and Readers (Facebook) LIT UP: A Conversation between OC Writers and Readers (MeetUp) monthly meeting for June 18 will be:
TWO WRITERS & THEIR EDITOR
A roundtable discussion with two published authors about the process
of working with their freelance editor—from raw manuscript to polished
final, and landing book deals with respected publishers. From “killing
their darlings,” to hammering out plot points, to hunting for agents
and publishers, these three tell it all. It’s a no-holds-barred
conversation among two writers and one editor, who never quit until
each grabbed the literary brass ring.

Elaine Ash, Editor--At Beat to a Pulp webzine, Elaine
worked directly with writers for publication. Today, she works with
private clients; shaping manuscripts, acquiring agents and scouting
deals. Mental State, a legal thriller she edited through
several drafts to final, was publisher-nominated for the Edgar Award
in 2018. Elaine’s crime series (writing as Anonymous-9) won two
Readers’ Choice Awards from the House of Crime and Mystery, Canada.
She is the inventor of Bestseller Metrics, a testing system for novels
nicknamed “moneyball for authors.”

Writers of the Future published finalist, Chrome Oxide, toiled many
years writing humor and satire until his short story collection
28 Minutes into the Future was published. Tangent Online, the premiere
review magazine for short science fiction and fantasy since 1993, named five
stories from "28" to its recommended reading list for 2018. Chrome's work
has been praised by the late sci-fi legend Jerry Pournelle, as well as
David Farland—New York Times bestselling author, and Coordinating Judge of
the Writers of the Future contest. Chrome credits his success to
“inadequate discouragement from my writers’ group.”
