Douglas L. Smith was taught at a very early age from his mother that reading was important. He would read anything and everything he could get his hands on. Then he fell in love with sports. In the eighth grand an english teacher once told him, "You are going to make and english teacher love you in college." Having no idea what that meant, his life moved on. He moved through high school playing football and wrestling. After high school he attended community college, where thanks to two english teachers his life changed. Football over after a stint playing very semi-pro football. He began working in education and coaching. Still an avid reader and now movie watcher, something struck him like a lighting bolt. He would read a book or get to the end of a movie and think to himself, "I could have done that better." So he began to write and then overly criticize his own work which he would eventually throw away. One day he let someone read a sample of what he wrote and they liked it. The rest is how you say...History.
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

Year's Best Fantasy & Horror Honorable Mention
When James Mackaby, respected scholar, husband and father, accepts a dinner invitation from an old rival who has fallen on hard times, he has no idea that revenge is on the menu.
During this singular evening, three very separate and very different dinners will take place, all at the same time, all in the same place, all with the same guests.
And by the end of the last course, no one's life will ever be the same again.
Science fiction, time travel (short story)
"Another standout is the masterful "State of Disorder," which contemplates the flexibility and fluidity of time." —Ideomancer Magazine
"A neat twist on time travel and quantum physics." —Publishers Weekly
"The claustrophobic atmosphere of this tale heightens its devilish suspense and draws favorable comparisons to Poe's tales of trapped, desperate protagonists." —Tangent Online
"A chilling story of three dinners in the same place and time, and a very satisfying ending made this another A++ story [in Chimerascope]." —Fantasy Book Critic
"A stunning piece of work." —Amazing Stories
"Smith invokes both Stephen Hawking and Edgar Allan Poe ... a successful marriage of bold imagination and finely-crafted details, which results in a chilling page-turner." —Rainbow Dragon Recommends
