DarkEcho/HorrorOnline: Christopher Golden (1999) (2315 words)
Golden himself is a father and, of course, a son.
At age 32, Golden is one of the few under 40 -- especially in genre-writing -- to have established a career as a full-time writer the "old-fashioned way" -- by being versatile, talented, and working his butt off.
Golden has also called STRANGEWOOD a "vindication of a sort" as there have been writers who have publicly taken him to task ("and even a couple who have crucified me") for doing work for hire and young adult books.
