American author Blake Linton Wilfong (1964- ) has loved science fiction--especially its robots

and computers--since earliest childhood. Imagine his excitement when home computers became

available! He bought one, a Radio Shack TRS-80 with 4K RAM, in 1978, and taught

himselfprogramming. The die was cast

After winning national awards in high school for computer projects, Wilfong attended Rice

University and received a degree in Computer Science. He spent the next seven years with

MITRE, a government "think tank" at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Since then, he has applied

his knowledge of science and computers in writing SF and building Web sites. Thus he has come

full circle: first inspired by science fiction, he now creates it.

Believing that life is too fleeting for novels, Wilfong prefers short stories and (better yet) short-

short stories. His first published fiction, "The Good Witch", appeared in the Winter 1998 issue

(#38) of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine. True to form, it totaled less than 700

words.

Wilfong still resides in Houston, Texas, the city of his birth. He finds it strange to be the only

living author on Free Sci-Fi Classics, and stranger to be writing about himself in the third

person.

suggestion, or influenced by sensory stimuli. And the protagonist, Peter Laveller, eventually

realizes he is dreaming--which means his dream has become "lucid"! Stranger yet, a dream-

character applies the classic reality test--pinching--to prove her existence to Laveller! Merritt

apparently knew this test is flawed; it is quite possible to feel a dream-pinch. He also "knew"
