About Author
I was born in Hollyweird, oh, a long time ago. I am the child of two readers: a bookselling mother and a book collecting father. It was perhaps inevitable that I became a rabid reader, book collector, writer, and eventually an anthologist and sometime blogger.
Tom Easton and I have published 5, going on 6 sf/f anthologies in the past 8 years, starting with Visions of Tomorrow in 2010, and the latest Fantasy for the Throne in 2018.
More complete information about the anthologies can be found on our website: jandtbooks.com
