By day I am a software developer wandering "cage free" in the great Pacific Northwest of America, and by night I write under the direction of a persistent, annoying muse. My goal as a writer is to show readers that the "commonplace" is really extraordinary, if we examine with the right forms of perception. My work gravitates toward speculative fiction, fantasy, and science fiction with a "twist." I am an active member of PNWA, and volunteer as a reader in their literary contests. I have shorts published previously in "The Rabbit Hole, Vol. 3" (Duotrope) and Aphelion online magazine. I also have self-published collections of short stories and a recent autobiography/philosophical work called "A/not A: A Writer's Philosophy to End the Division," both on Amazon.

Born in South-Africa and raised in a small farming community, Wiebo only had his imagination to keep him occupied, till he discovered the magic of books. He fell in love with the characters within from an early age. Soon he started to create his own worlds and stories in his head. These stories developed voices, which clamored to be heard. So, he writes. Shortlisted for his Flash Fiction and Poetry for the Fish Publishing Prize he had various stories published in Molotov Lit, National Flash Fiction Day, Reflex Fiction and more.
