About the Author

The Mists of Time appeared in the August 2007 issue of Asimov’-- exactly fifty years after Tom Purdom’s first published story appeared in the August 1957 issue of a magazine called Fantastic Universe. Tom Purdom’s contributions to the science fiction field include novels, short fiction, magazine articles, and an anthology of non-fiction about science by leading SF writers. The editors who have bought his work include science fiction legends like John W. Campbell and Frederik Pohl and currently active editors such as Sheila Williams, Gardner Dozois, and Stanley Schmidt. For the last twenty years, he has mostly been writing short stories and novelettes that have ended up on the contents pages of Asimov’s. Michael Swanwick has called his Asimov’s stories “an astonishing string of first-rate stories... Purdom’s humane take on the future, his willingness to imagine worlds in which people treat each other better than they do now, makes his work distinctive.”
