About the Author

Ari Marmell would love to tell you all about the various esoteric jobs he held and the wacky adventures he had on the way to becoming an author, since that's what other authors seem to do in these sections. Unfortunately, he doesn't actually have any, as the most exciting thing about his professional life, besides his novel writing, is the work he's done for Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games. He currently has novels published with Spectra (an imprint of Random House), Pyr Books, and Wizards of the Coast, as well as a forthcoming series with Titan. Ari currently lives in an apartment that's almost as cluttered as his subconscious, which he shares (the apartment, not the subconscious, though sometimes it seems like it) with George-his wife-and a cat who really, really thinks it's dinner time.
