Wayne Helge was in the Coast Guard for a dozen years before wading ashore, and now works and writes in Virginia.  He graduated from the Viable Paradise writing workshop in 2011 and recently sold his story, "Gone Rogue" to Damnation Press, for the Corrupts Absolutely? anthology, edited by Lincoln Crisler. Lately, his favorite hobby seems to be clicking the "refresh" button on duotrope.com.
