About this author

Zachary Ricks is a writer, publisher, podcaster, and attorney. He learned to read at a young age, and had the benefit of a mother who read to him regularly. However, when he was five, his parents made the tactical error of taking him to see Star Wars. He's been a fan of genre fiction ever since, scaling his parent's bookshelf to get at his mom's collection of Piers Anthony, Alan Dean Foster, Terry Brooks and Edgar Rice Burroughs novels.
He lives in Austin TX, with his wife and daughter.
Find his current writings at madpoetfiles.com, and his publishing venture - Flying Island Press - at www.flyingislandpress.com.
