Charlie Marino

Biography

Author Charlie J. Marino was born in the Bronx, New York and holds a BS and MS in nuclear engineering from Columbia University. His various occupations included bond and commodities trading, founding several small computer companies, and now writes sci-fi novels and short stories. He has more robots than friends, but they’re good ones.

The author makes his home in the mountains of America, where he helped the nice folks at SETI until the great fall, carves his own wooden chess sets, plays bocci, and designs battlebots.

Smashwords Interview

Who are your favorite authors?
I started life as most scientists, reading anything from Asimov, Heinlein and Niven I could find. Later ran into Jack Chalker (Well World), Elizabeth Moon and Lois Bujold.

Of late, I have broadened my reading to include what was a pleasant to me - that some of my favorite film noir movies in black & white were actually novels. Dashell Hammond and Hemmingway, even Lindsey for 'Dexter' and Nevil Shute for 'On The Beach'. The written word and a well crafted story still warms me.
What are you working on next?
Now attempting publication of a novel grown out of an early story, Dominant Life Form. This one picks up where DLF left off. Robots native to Earth waking and developing, but develops the mysterious 'oThErs' and what they are doing on our planet. It also develops the theme of a parallel effort at the next dominant life form - genetic supermen - and how they are the robots are in direct competition with mere humans a distant third.

It is entitled 'Alive Be Deemed'.
