I write science fiction intended to make readers feel like they’ve solved a challenging problem or taken an adventurous voyage along with my characters. I've written in several genres, including science fiction, steampunk, historical, alternate history, horror, and fantasy. My short stories appear in over a dozen anthologies. Fourteen others form the What Man Hath Wrought series. I co-edited the following anthologies: 20,000 Leagues Remembered; Extraordinary Visions, Stories Inspired by Jules Verne; and Ain’t Our First Rodeo. Ideas prevalent in my works include submarines, the ocean, the evolution of technology, and how the past could have been different.

Lance Schonberg
Lance Schonberg
Author · 1 books

During the summer of 2007, in the middle of lecturing one of his children on the importance of following dreams, Lance began to wonder why he’d stopped following his. Gathering up a few shreds of unfinished stories, he began writing (nearly) every day. On Christmas Day that year, after the rest of his family had gone to bed, he began his first novel. Dragon Summer took exactly five months to complete and came in at 108,104 words. Fortunately, no one will ever be allowed to read it. He’s written several novels, and many shorter works in the years since, some of which have even seen publication. Lance’s writing habits are eclectic, although most of his stories do fall into the broad buckets of Science Fiction or Fantasy. Mostly, he’s gotten over casting himself as the hero, but admits there’s a piece of him in a lot of his characters. Long since leaping over the border into obsession, Lance continues to heed the keyboard’s siren call. At any given moment, he’s working on a novel and at least one short story. Probably more. You can find him on his web site at http://lanceschonberg.com/, on Twitter as WritingDad, and sometimes even on Facebook.
