In a time not long after the fifth extinction event, 2-time Edgar Award-nominated author Michael D. Beil came of age on the shores of Pymatuning Lake, where the ducks walk on the fish. (Look it up. Seriously.) For reasons that can’t be disclosed until September 28, 2041, he now lives somewhere in Portugal with his wife Laura, cats Bruno and Maisie, and Kit, a rambunctious English Setter. He still gets carsick if he has to ride in the back seat for long and feels a little guilty that he doesn’t keep a journal.
