J.B. Collum lives in South Carolina with his wife. For his day job, he writes software, but he hopes to ditch that and write full time if his wife and creditors will let him. He loves gadgets, reading good books, watching old movies and some new ones, vacationing at the beach and the mountains, as time and funds allow, eating great food in prodigious portions, and drinking beer, wine, and rum in moderate amounts. He has lived most of his life in South Carolina with brief stays in Georgia and Hawaii.
