Author Information

Ada Palmer is the author of the Terra Ignota fiction series and winner of the John W. Campbell Award. She is a professor in the history department of the University of Chicago, specializing in Renaissance history and the history of ideas. She is also a composer of folk and Renaissance-tinged a cappella music, most of which she performs with the group Sassafrass. She writes about history for a popular audience at exurbe.com and about SF and fantasy-related matters at Tor.com. Marni Penning is a classically trained, award-winning stage and film actress who has performed in fifty-four productions of twenty-three of Shakespeare's plays to date. On the small screen, you may have caught her appearances on Guiding Light, All My Children, Law & Order: SVU, Saturday Night Live, or The Sopranos. Marni has been a voice-over artist for many years and was a disc jockey in college; she studied voice-over for animation with the legendary Pat Fraley, so her specialty is character voices and complex accents. Marni got into narration through the Library of Congress Books for the Blind program, and has appeared in over 100 large-cast recordings for Graphic Audio. Her warm, rich, inviting voice adapts equally well to cozy mysteries, sci-fi thrillers, YA fantasy, and quirky romances. She lives just outside Washington, DC, with her husband, son, dog, fish, and chickens. Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea, Wales on 27 October 1914.
