Walter H. Hunt is a science fiction author, with three books in publication: The Dark Wing, The Dark Path, and The Dark Ascent from Tor Books. The fourth book, The Dark Crusade, appeared August 2005, completing the current story arc. These novels are set in a future when humankind has spread to the stars and encountered other alien races. He began writing these stories more than twenty-five years ago. The earliest-written portions of the universe are chronologically latest in the history. This should reassure his fans that he has a fairly good idea of how everything turns out.
Walter is the youngest of three children; he grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, where he attended public school, graduating from Andover High School in 1977. Walter attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and was an exchange student in Munich in 1979-80; the year he met his wife Lisa, who was a graduate student in Switzerland at the time. They were married in 1982. Certainly the best decision Walter ever made. He is a baseball fan and a Freemason, and enjoys board games and roleplaying games; between those interests and family, he has a very busy life. Still, Walter enjoys writing most of all—there’s nothing like doing something you love (and getting paid for it.) He qualifies as a recovering programmer (10 years) and also a recovering technical writer (8 years). For the last three years Walter has been writing full time, which has brought some success and even more satisfaction.
Walter has been flying in to attend MarsCon since 2004 on his own dime, and graciously contributing to our programming with several literary panels and literary readings. As such, he has been an invaluable friend to MarsCon. We are so excited that he has agreed to honor us as our Author Guest of Honor for MarsCon 2006!
