Justin Teerlinck pens odd and beguiling books that combine humor, imagination and sometimes strange critters. He has a keen eye for the surreal and magical in ordinary situations. A lifelong anglophile, he loves 19th century Brit lit, doomed polar expeditions, last stands, and incompetence in the face of chaos. If you don't find him hiking out of the desert after his truck broke down you may find him studying mushrooms in the fern-bedecked wilds of the Pacific Northwest. He is also a mental health occupational therapist who founded therapy departments at two psychiatric hospitals in Washington State. He is currently in private practice. Teerlinck's work has appeared in Whistling Shade, Double Dare Press, Restroom Ratings, The Cynic Online, Primalzine, 253 Magazine, Sizzle, The Suburban Times, Wellforward Journal, Stone Path Review, The Higgs Weldon, Creative Colloquy, The NewerYork, and Kaliedotrope. He also writes fake manuals and guidebooks under a pseudonym: Dr. Horace S. Browntrout. Find his books at Amazon.com, and at Invitation Bookshop in Gig Harbor, Washington. https://justinteerlinck.wixsite.com/a... https://dashfirediaries.tumblr.com/
