Cast of characters:
Bria Burton as Lee-Ann
Rish Outfield as Zoltan
Josh Roseman as Armin Pluto
Marshal Latham as Langer, and the narrator.

R.C. Anderson is an amateur writer who would much rather write something original and good, than cliché and great. Although his attempts at “Original & Great” have sometimes yielded success.  While he wishes he could focus on writing more, (‘focus’ being the key word), his day job at a microchip fab provides for such luxuries as food, shelter, a backyard tomato garden, and the ability to have writing as a hobby, even if he’s too tired to want to do it most days.  He lives in Oregon with two cats (Katie and Bobbie), is considering his alternatives to this, (on states of which to live in, not the cats).

Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as the genre of science fiction.  He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.  Poe died in 1849,  in Baltimore, under mysterious circumstances, but he left us with a legacy of tales of wonder and woe, the marvelous and the macabre.
