Arnold Wolf is currently employed as a manager with the MTA in New York City.  He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York but now makes his home in Queens, New York.  Although he has spent the great majority of his life in New York, he loves traveling and enjoys visiting faraway and exotic lands.  Mr. Wolf loves American autos from the '60s and '70s, particularly the Ford Mustang.  He is planning on buying a Harley next year, if time and funds permit.  Mr. Wolf is also a counter-terrorism instructor/consultant, and teaches a course in Emergency & Crisis Management at a local university.  He is an artist and photographer as well as a writer, having sold several of his works over the years.  Some of his paintings hang in buildings throughout the MTA.  He’s sold articles to Railway Age magazine, Homeland Defense Journal, Reptile & Amphibian magazine; scripts to Archie and Personality Comics; and short stories to Neo-Opsis magazine and various Sci-Fi and/or horror newsletters and fanzines.  He was also editor of Offworld, a small science fiction magazine that was once chosen as a "Best Bet" by Sci-Fi television. Arnold Wolf considers as his major influences the people and places he's seen and interacted with in New York City, a city teeming with stories and characters if one just knows how to look.  As far as the writers that he feels that have influenced him the most, they are - in no particular order - Ernest Hemmingway, Robert E. Howard, Lawrence Sanders, Harry Turtledove, Isaac Asimov, and Stephen King.
