Stephen Goldin
Bio: Stephen Goldin graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Astronomy. He worked in collaboration with his first wife, Kathleen Sky, to write the highly successful nonfiction book, THE BUSINESS OF BEING A WRITER. He and his current wife, Mary Mason, have worked together on the REHUMANIZATION OF JADE DARCY series. Mr. Goldin was the editor of the SFWA Bulletin for three years and was the SFWA’s Western Regional Director for another three years. He began his writing career as writer/editor for a pornographic humor paper, the San Francisco Ball. In retrospect, this was a great crucible; because of deadline pressure, he had to learn to make his writing dirty and funny in one draft.
