Dennis Langley is a retired  Certified Business Continuity Manager who lives in Wisconsin.  He has published articles appearing in Stick and String, a traditional archery magazine and Gardener’s Grapevine, a gardening advice column for several Midwest newspapers. His interest in writing fantasy fiction began in the late seventies when he created character backgrounds for role-playing gamers.

Along with Good Night’s Sleep, Cat’s Meow, and One Stone, all completed short stories, his current projects include: Snake Rattles, a contemporary western fantasy novel, and a sequel, Snake Coils.

He attended Upper Iowa University where he earned a B.S. degree in Professional Biology. He has attended classes at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. He belongs to the Sun Prairie Writer’s Group and the TC Fantasy Guild.

When not writing, his spare time is devoted to fishing, shooting traditional archery (longbows and recurve bows), shooting IDPA, building and driving radio-controlled trucks, and working in his garden. During the long winters in Wisconsin, he makes and restores knives.

Born in Coldwater, Michigan, he would say he’s been in hot water ever since. He grew up in a suburb north of Chicago near Lake Michigan. Currently, Dennis shares a house with his wife and two cats.

    Nice bio – you really do sound like a jack of all trades. With your experience in athletic training, any advice for a teen I mentor who’s interested in becoming a sports agent?

    Hi Dennis! I haven’t done my awards ceremony yet, but I was nominated by Corey for the ABC award too. I wanted to stop by to see what kind of company I keep. As a fellow writer, I am so glad Corey and the award pointed me in your direction.

    Robin-

    Thanks for dropping by. I just got the posting from Corey, so I’m a bit shocked. I’ll try and get my ABC updated in the next few days. I’m currently transitionaing between jobs so things are a little hectic.

      Thank you for the BBA. I’ve been a bit busy of late. But, things should start to settle down.
