About the Author
Mari Ness spent much of her life wandering the world and reading. This, naturally, trained her to do just one thing: write. She is the author of the short story "In the Greenwood." Her short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous print and online publications, including Clarkesworld Magazine, Apex Magazine, Daily Science Fiction, Strange Horizons and Fantasy Magazine. She also has a weekly blog at Tor.com, where she chats about classic works of children’s fantasy and science fiction. She lives in central Florida, with a scraggly rose garden, large trees harboring demented squirrels, and two adorable cats.
