Ian Salavon is a husband, father, professional chef by trade, judo black belt, wannabe Renaissance man and an aficionado of all things speculative.  When he isn't writing, hanging out with family, or cooking, he spends his time at the Fort Worth Judo Club where he has been a long-time coach. He has short stories published On The Premises Magazine, Small World City Magazine, and The Kaidankai Podcast but most of his work is featured in long road trips and around the dinner table.
