Alan Smale grew up in Yorkshire, England, but now lives in the Washington D.C. area. By day he works at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center as a professional astronomer, studying black holes, neutron stars and other bizarre celestial objects. However, too many family vacations at Hadrian’s Wall in his formative years plus a couple of degrees from Oxford took their toll, steering his writing towards alternate, secret, and generally twisted history. He has sold numerous short stories to magazines including Asimov’s and Realms of Fantasy, and won the 2010 Sidewise Award for Alternate History.
