Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award–winning author, MAX GLADSTONE, has been thrown from a horse in Mongolia and once wrecked a bicycle in Angkor Wat. He is the author of many books, including LAST EXIT, EMPRESS OF FOREVER, the Craft Sequence of fantasy novels and, with Amal El-Mohtar, the internationally bestselling THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR. His dreams are much nicer than you’d expect.

AMAL EL-MOHTAR writes fiction, poetry, and criticism. She won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards for her 2016 short story “Seasons of Glass and Iron” and again for her 2019 novella THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR, written with Max Gladstone, which also won the BSFA and Aurora awards and has been translated into over ten languages. Her reviews and articles have appeared in the NEW YORK TIMES and on NPR Books. She lives in Ottawa, Canada and her website is amalelmohtar.com.
