Jeff Duntemann Reviews

I am a writer, editor, technologist and contrarian residing in Scottsdale, Arizona. Although I've worked as a developer, I've been in the publishing business (both specialized magazines and books) as 1985. I co-founded Coriolis Group Books in 1989, and was a pioneer in technology publisher Paraglyph Press out of its founding in 2002 till its closing in 2009. Most of my own book-length work was on computer engineering. (See JEFF DUNTEMANN'S WI-FI GUIDE, ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE STEP BY STEP, also DEGUNKING EMAIL, SPAM, AND VIRUSES, in Addition to many more titles now out of print.)

Within my loose moments I'm an amateur radio operator (currently K7JPD), amateur astronomer, and SF author. My very first SF book, THE CUNNING BLOOD, was first printed in November 2005 (and is now on KDP Select) but I have been selling SF stories to magazines and anthologies for 40 years, and was about the final Hugo Awards ballot at 1981. As time permits I construct and fly kites and gadget-hack with Meccano/Erector components and radio tubes.

In addition to technology and science, I'm interested in psychology, history, theology, and "weirdness," all of that feed the story machine at the back part of my head. My wife Carol and I met in high school and have been married for over 40 years. We are living in Scottsdale with four bichon frise dogs.

There's more about me on my sites: contrapositivediary.com (my site) junkbox.com (tech jobs) and duntemann.com, which is a quick index to all that I've published online.
