Hello. My name is Eugene Fischer, but all of my friends and family know me as E. J. If you want to, you can call me E. J. too. Or Eugene, if you think that sounds nicer. It’s entirely up to you.

I’m a writer living in San Antonio, Texas. What seems like a very long time ago I graduated from the North East School of the Arts, where I was a creative writing major. Somewhat more recently I graduated from Trinity University, where I was a physics major.  After that I graduated from the 2008 Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop, where I went back to creative writing, but no one thought it was weird if I put some physics in. In 2013 I plan to graduate from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where I’m currently a graduate student. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing after that, but if you do, please write me at your earliest convenience and let me know.

Here are some other places on the internet where you can learn more about me:

Google+ – My newest social network. This one is still gaining momentum, but I suspect may eventually be my preferred online hangout.

Facebook – This is my public search listing. I’m quite active on Facebook, but I probably won’t friend you unless we actually know each other, or have at least met or communicated in some way. (You can always send me an email if you want to get in touch.)

Twitter – My most frequently updated online presence. Feel free to follow me.

LibraryThing – I keep track of what books are in my home with this service, because virtual stacks of books are a lot more convenient than physical ones. Here you can see what is on my shelves.

LiveJournal – These days my LiveJournal account is just a mirror of the content on my blog, but the archives go back a bit farther, as it predates this website by several years.
