Laury Dahners lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and enjoys writing science fiction, composing/recording music and painting. His stories have a positive outlook on scientific progress, looking on it as something that makes the world better rather than resulting in various dystopias. Generally, they start with a "what if" question, for instance in the case of the Stasis Stories, what if someone invented a way to pause time within a given volume of space-time. Sure, this kind of stasis would let you travel forward in time, sure, but a lot of other interesting things would change as well.
