A bio is a weird thing to write.
Just trying to imagine presenting the highlights of ME sets off alarm bells in my head. Why would anybody want to know anything about me? What about me is remarkable enough to tell?
When I think about these questions, I recall lying on my bed back in high school, headphones muffed over my ears, heavy metal blasting through my head. As with most teens, music’s power seduced me, and as I listened, I found myself admiring the albums' cover art (yeah, I’m old enough that I used to buy LP’s) and I found myself reading about the singers and guitar players and drummers in the liner notes. Why? Because those musicians had created something that was deeply personal, passionate, and wonderfully emotional, and they’d shared it with the world. They’d shared it with me.
It made me want to know them through more than just their music. So, I read.
Through the years, I found myself reading books about writers I’d enjoyed reading, historical figures I’d admired, politicians who weren’t dipshits, and business leaders who’d built great companies. Again, why? Who the hell knows? We’re all just people. I think we find each other interesting. We like to feel connected.
And that was my answer, at least as to the WHY.
On the WHAT I can say about me, for those who feel moved by my work: I’ll give it a quick go.
I was born an Air Force brat and lived in a dozen states before I graduated high school. I've worked my way through a wide variety of jobs, left most on a whim, owned businesses, lived through times when I had more money than I knew what to do with, and worried my way through times when I wondered how I’d pay the rent.
Life has been boring at times, and it’s been plenty exciting, too. So far.
I’ve traveled to India, stood atop the tallest mountains around, swam with sharks, smarted-off to cops, and been arrested. I’ve tried beer and weed, but never made a thing of either one. I’ve been brushed too close by death a few times. Thankfully, doctors, EMT’s, and nurses were kind enough to put the pieces together again. I've ridden my bike so deep into the mountains it felt like I was alone on the edge of heaven, and I've watched the red sun sinking on an evening so clear it looked like it was falling off the edge of the world.
I’ve always had a hard time being where I was, it didn't matter where. My daydreams forever called from just over the horizon.
I’ve been asked by a dozen bosses, 'Bobby, where do you see yourself in five years,' and I've lied every time, always telling them what they wanted to hear. Because the only thing I knew for sure, was that I wanted to be anywhere but there.

Anthony J. Melchiorri grew up in a central Illinois town called Normal. Since then he has done his best to venture beyond the normal. He has eaten tarantulas in Cambodia, hiked an erupting volcano in Guatemala, explored abandoned KGB prisons in Estonia, and trekked Ugandan jungles to photograph mountain gorillas.
Many of Anthony’s books are inspired by a mixture of his travels and his background as a research scientist. While he earned a BA in English at the University of Iowa, he also completed a BSE in Biomedical Engineering. His career led him to the University of Maryland. There he graduated with a PhD in Bioengineering before running a research laboratory that specializes in 3D printing artificial organs. He has developed materials to 3D print blood vessels and cartilage, invented devices to extract bone samples from patients, and created cellular therapies to help heal wounds.
Anthony currently calls Colorado home with his wife and an untamable, growing collection of books. Learn more at anthonyjmelchiorri .com.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Format: KindleI generally don't like short stories because I always want something more. Yet these were really good stories a couple not so great but overall you'll enjoy it
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really enjoyed how the book opened with a description of the experience of seeing the Atlantis spaceship at the Kennedy Space Center. It brought back great memories of my own visit to the space center and how inspiring it was. This book is a collection of short stories by various talented science fiction writers. My personal favorites were The Return by Joshua Dalzelle and Glass Lanterns by Anthony J. Melchiorri. Both stories stood out for their compelling characters and kept me fully engaged from start to finish. I would recommend this book to any science fiction fan!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis compilation of short stories by well known authors known for their novels and series is highly entertaining and well put together. Ranges from pure sci fi to near term realistic futures.
Writing short stories is very challenging. To write a well written story arc with defined characters, present a challenge and to conclude it effectively is hard. These authors prove their writing mettle and excellence in being able to effectively write in this format.
Highly recommended.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Format: Audible AudiobookVerified PurchaseAwesome story!!!!
Super interesting !!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2025Format: KindleFinished this last night and was saddened because there were no more stories. Usually in a book of short stories there are some good, maybe a great or two, and one or two stinkers. This one is nothing but really good and great. On the proverbial 1-10 scale, these are all 9's and 10's.
Each and every story held my interest and made me want to read more. Of the 8 stories, I was sure "The Return" (first story) was my favorite—until I got to "Helpful Machines" (second from last).
And I absolutely loved the way "Knight's Gambit" ended - I never cheered so hard for a text to be sent in my life.
If you like Sci-Fi - grab this book.
If you like short stories - grab this book.
If you like reading - grab this book.
In the meantime, I'm going to go back and reread the first book in this series, Tales from the Starship Discovery.
