Josh Roseman (not the trombonist; the other one) has had fiction published in Asimov's, Escape Pod, a Crossed Genres anthology, and several other places. He's a member of SFWA and a graduate of Taos Toolbox, and is probably at this very moment either writing or complaining about not writing. Find him online at roseplusman.com or on Twitter at @listener42.
