About the Author

James R. Sanford cannot remember a time when he wasn't reading stories and making up his own, and he likes to apply his lifelong interest in history and cultural anthropology to his fiction. His favorite writers include Ursula K. LeGuin, Orson Scott Card, and Charles Dickens. When not writing he can often be found playing the piano, tinkering with computers, or throwing tennis balls to "Apple," his golden retriever.
