Richard Bowes

After graduation, Bowes moved to Manhattan in 1965, doing the usual jumble of things that writers do in order to earn a living.

He launched his Speculative Fiction writing career in the early 1980s and published novels Warchild,[2] Feral Cell and Goblin Market.

These stories plus recent material appeared in Streetcar Dreams and Other Midnight Fancies from England's PS Publishing in 2006.

Two of the stories – novelettes "The Ferryman’s Wife" and "The Mask of the Rex", both originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction – were finalists for the prestigious Nebula Award, in 2002 and 2003 respectively.

In 2013 Bowes published the novel/story cycle Dust Devils on a Quiet Street, about a group of writers in New York City before, during, and after 9/11.
