Author Bio:
Stephen Melkanos, A.A.S., Z.L., E.V., L.I.V.R., is a motorcycle enthusiast and cat fancier who spends what little free time he has watching pro wrestling and Rifftrax. A lifetime of study in Zen mysticism and other arcane arts has led him on a path of pure creation in every form from music to visual arts.
Though capable of being quite serious, he generally prefers the act of sacred mockery. Humor as an invincible weapon against evil, he says, is a martial art form he learned from a space alien in the late 1970s. "But then," he says, "there's no such thing as good or evil, really. So basically I'm a smartass just for the sake of amusing myself."
