Jay Lake (b. 1964) was born and raised overseas, primarily in Taiwan and Nigeria. His father was an officer in the United States Foreign Service. During his adult life, he has lived in Texas and Oregon, pursuing a career in advertising and marketing while raising his child and developing his writing career. Lake published his first story in 2001, since when he has embarked on a rapidly-burgeoning career as both an author and a short fiction editor. Winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and a Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award nominee, his “New Wave” and “New Weird”-inspired short fiction has been collected in Greetings From Lake Wu, Green Grow the Rushes-Oh, Dogs in the Moonlight and American Sorrows. He has edited the anthologies All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories (with David Moles), Exquisite Corpuscle (with Frank Wu), Spicy Slipstream Stories (with Nick Mamatas), TEL : Stories and five volumes of Polyphony (with Deborah Layne), all for Wheatland Press. 44 Clowns is another anthology (co-edited with Mike Brotherton), while Rocket Science is a forthcoming novel from Fairwood Press.
