Counting Heads by David Marusek

David Marusek is an author who was born in Buffalo, New York but lived various places in youth. He is currently divorced and has a grown daughter. He has lived in Alaska since 1973 and that is the state he is most associated with.

Marusek worked as a graphic designer for about twenty years and for eleven years he also taught graphic design at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He became serious about a writing career around 1986; success began soon after he attended Clarion West in 1992. His third published story, "We Were Out of Our Minds with Joy," garnered him attention as a hot new writer. In 1999 his novella "The Wedding Album" won the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. His first novel, Counting Heads, was published by Tor Books in 2005, and was the subject of Dave Itzkoff's debut "Across the Universe" column in the March 5, 2006 New York Times.[1]

A second novel, currently titled Mind Over Ship, will be published by Tor Books in either late 2007 or 2008. A short story collection is to be published by Subterranean Press in 2007.
