Brooke Bolander is a chaos-sowing trickster girl of indeterminate employment, half-tornado, half-writer. Originally from the deepest, darkest, swampiest regions of the southern US, she attended the University of Leicester from 2004 to 2007 studying History and Archaeology and is a graduate of the 2011 Clarion Writers’ Workshop at UCSD. Her work has been featured in Lightspeed, Strange Horizons, Nightmare, Reflection's Edge, and several anthologies, including Year's Best Science Fiction & Fantasy 2016. She currently resides in Brooklyn with her partner, their pets, and a small but growing army of haughty house centipedes.
