Todd A. Walls is a writer as the result of a truce. The stories that keep clamoring for attention will calmly await their turn, as long as Todd keeps writing them down. Stories can be quite stubborn. With the calm and quiet of Colorado's eastern plains outside-and the majestic Rocky Mountains marking the horizon-Todd's characters speak to him of their dreams and accomplishments, along with their failures and shame. Todd's imagination is a conduit to the end of time, riding the many failures of humanity to their inevitable outcomes, and embracing the heroic efforts of those who refuse such a fate. Todd is the Vice President of the Colorado Springs Fiction Writer's Group, and first became a member in 2000. He has professional technical certifications as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). He currently works as an Information Security Consultant in the finance industry.
