About the Author
Patrick Parrinder is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Reading and President of the H.G. Wells Society. He is the author of many books on H.G. Wells, science fiction and modern literature and is General Editor of the 12-volume Oxford History of the Novel in English (2011–24).
Yao Haijun (Honorary Editor) is deputy Director-in-Chief of Science Fiction World, President of Chengdu Science Fiction Association, and Co-founder of Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award. He founded China's first science fiction fanzine Nebula in 1988 and joined Science Fiction World in 1998. He discovered many new writers, initiating the ‘Science Fiction Vision Project’ which launched the internationally bestselling ‘Three-Body’ series. He has also won the Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award for Best Editor.
Leah Cypess is the author of four young adult fantasy novels, starting with Mistwood (HarperCollins 2010). Her middle grade debut, Thornwood, about Sleeping Beauty's little sister, is scheduled to be published by Random House in 2021. She is also the author of short fiction published in Asimov's Science Fiction and the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, among other places. Leah is originally from New York City and now lives in Silver Spring, Maryland with her family.
A native of San Antonio, Texas, Ronald D. Ferguson is an active member of the SFWA. After years of teaching college mathematics and publishing four textbooks with major publishers, he decided writing fiction was more fun. He writes science fiction and fantasy with more than thirty publications in various short fiction venues including Flame Tree's Lost Worlds Short Stories, Compelling Science Fiction, Deep Magic, and many others. He lives with his wife, Layne near the shadow of the Alamo.
Russell James grew up on Long Island, New York and graduated from Cornell University and the University of Central Florida. After flying helicopters with the U.S. Army, he has had multiple horror and paranormal thrillers published. His wife reads his work and says "There is something seriously wrong with you."
