Ed Teja is a full-time writer and part-time martial arts instructor. He spent years traveling the world writing, working as a Caribbean boat bum, editing magazines in the US, Hong Kong, and Venezuela, and freelancing an odd assortment of stories, articles, and poems for a rather eclectic assortment of magazines and anthologies. Now he is in rural New Mexico where he writes stories that have little or no respect for genre and take place in one or more of the surreal worlds he lives in (rather happily).
