Biography
Although Levine has a long interest in reading and writing science fiction, he began as a writer of technical articles.[2] He has primarily written short fiction; his first professional fiction sale came in 2001.[3] A long-time member of science fiction fandom and early member of MilwApa (the Milwaukee amateur press association), he also co-edited a fanzine, Bento, with his late wife, Kate Yule,[4] and has served as Convention Committee Chair for Potlatch.[5] His short story "Ukaliq and the Great Hunt" appeared in The Phobos Science Fiction Anthology Volume 2 (2003).
Although he grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Levine now lives in Portland, Oregon.
In 2010, he spent two weeks in a simulated Mars habitat of the Mars Society, in Utah.[6]
