ABOUT THE AUTHOR
K.C. Norton has loved books ever since she first read Frog and Toad Are Friends to herself, lo these many years ago. She still reads picture books, but now they’re for research, since she is getting her MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
Her father—rather more on the hard-science end of the spectrum, sequencing genomes and suchlike—has been incredibly supportive of her fiction, which has recently appeared in Crossed Genres Magazine, Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, Daily Science Fiction, and several other excellent venues besides this anthology.
K.C.’s pen-surname is borrowed from her mother’s tribe. Both of her parents think she’s a bit weird, and they’re right.
K.C. has studied classical archaeology, ancient Greek, anthropology, and a number of world literatures. She loves the places where science and history meet legend and myth.
When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found wrestling a small but enthusiastic dog, pouring drinks, drinking drinks, playing board games with a delightful assortment of nerds, and trying to figure out what Twitter is for.
