About The Creator

David Benjamin, a.k.a. Dude, enjoys writing creative fiction (mostly science fiction novels and short stories) and would like to make a living as a New York Times best-selling author. However, knowing that his favorite author (Hugo Award-winning Philip K. Dick) once had to eat horse meat because he couldn't afford human food, he realizes that he'll probably need another (paying) job to support himself while he writes. To this end, he would like to use his skills gained earning his B.A. in English and his M.A. in Writing to do some sort of editing/writing-related day job. Becoming a published writer is still, however, his primary goal.

Besides writing, reading, making movies with friends, and watching anime, David likes to paint, play tennis, play cross-country croquet, snowboard, camp, climb rocks and mountains, fight with boffer swords and quarter-staffs, weave chain mail armor, see movies and plays, ride his bike, eat, go to the bathroom, and sleep. David does not like to find deadly spiders in his house, as he is arachnophobic.

His other websites include his Shigeru Aoba shrine (currently down), his Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door site, and the collaborative effort Creative Impulse.
