ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jean Lorrah has a Ph.D. in Medieval British Literature. She is a Professor of English at Murray State University in Kentucky. Her first professional publications were nonfic-tion; her fiction was published in fanzines for years before her first pro novel appeared in 1980. She maintains a close relationship with sf fandom, appearing at conventions and engaging in as much fannish activity as time will allow. On occasion, she has the opportunity to combine her two loves of teaching and writing by teaching creative writing.
