Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a disgraced tarot card reader. (The full story, he’s told, involves a leaky tramp steamer and a stolen horse.) A scientist by day and writer — sometimes — by night, he is the author of seven critically acclaimed novels including the Milkweed Triptych (Bitter Seeds, The Coldest War, and Necessary Evil), Something More Than Night, and the Alchemy Wars Trilogy (The Mechanical, The Rising, and The Liberation). His short fiction has appeared in venues including Asimov’s Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Tor.com, and been reprinted in half a dozen year’s best anthologies including The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, The Year’s Top Hard Science Fiction Stories, and Best New Horror. He has contributed to five novels in George R. R. Martin’s long-running Wild Cards shared-world superhero anthology series, and was a staff writer on both seasons of Serial Box Publishing’s (now Realm’s) occult spy-fi thriller, The Witch Who Came in From the Cold. He is a graduate of the Clarion Workshop, and also holds a Ph.D. in physics for research on cosmic-ray acceleration in radio galaxies. In 2018, he was an invited guest at New Zealand’s prestigious biennial national arts festival; in 2019, he received the Galaxy Award for Best Foreign Writer in China. A thoroughly disappointing flesh muppet, Ian lives in New Mexico with his playwright wife, Sara.
