D. L. Mackenzie pounds on a computer somewhere in the desiccated
cultural wilderness of Phoenix, Arizona. When he’s not writing or more
gainfully employed elsewhere, he enjoys hiking the valley’s surrounding
mountains, traveling, listening to obscure music, and performing
unremarkable household chores with his hyperactive wife. He has a
love/hate relationship with American politics and is known to bore and
annoy anyone within earshot with his radically sensible political ideas.
He has written scads of scandalously intemperate opinion pieces and a
short story or two, but remains smitten with classic fiction by such
authors as Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H. G. Wells.
His new (2012) series “The Magnetron Chronicles” brings eccentric
inventor Phineas J. Magnetron out of mothballs for new tongue-in-cheek
neo-Victorian adventures in the heady Age of Steam.
Mackenzie certainly manages to keep himself amused, although to what
end is anyone’s guess. If you enjoy his fiction writing, you will most
assuredly be horrified by his political writing. If you enjoy his
political writing, you will likely find his fiction writing tedious and
self-indulgent. It’s long been a mystery how one man can be responsible
for such a diverse portfolio of annoying prose… until now.

| FIG. 1: Phrenology Finally Sheds Light on Writer D. L. Mackenzie's Mysterious Condition |
A recent study has shed light on Mr. Mackenzie’s condition, which is far
more complex than previously believed. Although Mackenzie claims the
bumps on his head result from simple clumsiness, the evidence of his
tenuous mental condition is overwhelming. However, his scribblings
remain quite entertaining in a nonclinical sense, and are neatly divided
into two categories:
