About this author

edit data

D. L. Mackenzie pounds on a computer somewhere in the desiccated cultural wilderness of Phoenix, Arizona. When he's not writing or more gainfully employed elsewhere, he enjoys hiking the valley's surrounding mountains, traveling, listening to obscure music, and performing unremarkable household chores with his hyperactive wife.

D.L. Mackenzie liked Jayaprakash Satyamurthy's review of The Last Adventure of Dr. Yngve Hogalum (The Magnetron Chronicles, #1): " A most amusing steampunk parody, complete with overblown, supposedly archaic diction and ridiculous plot turns. The scene where the various members of the Hogalums, a sort of secret society of scientific do-gooders, attempt to detain a constable f... " Read more of this review »
