Robert
(Lynn) Asprin was born in 1946. While he's written some stand
alone novels such as Cold Cash War, Tambu and The Bug Wars and
also the Duncan and Mallory Illustrated stories, Bob is best known
for his series fantasy, such as the Myth Adventures of Aahz and
Skeeve, the Phule’s Company novels, and, more recently,
the Time Scout novels written with Linda Evans. He also edited
the groundbreaking Thieves’ World anthology series with
Lynn Abbey. His most recent collaborations include License Invoked
(set in the French Quarter of New Orleans where he now lives)
and several new Myth Adventures novels, all written with Jody
Lynn Nye. Bob is currently working on a new series of contemporary
fantasy novels.

Jody
Lynn Nye lists her main career activity as ‘spoiling cats.’
When not engaged upon this worthy occupation, she writes fantasy
and science fiction books and short stories. Before breaking away
from gainful employment to write full time, Jody worked as a file
clerk, book-keeper at a small publishing house, freelance journalist
and photographer, accounting assistant and costume maker, then on
the technical operations staff of a local Chicago television station.
Since 1985 she has published 33 books and 90 short stories. Besides
the Myth Adventures collaborations with Robert Asprin, she has also
written an epic fantasy series, The Dreamland, contemporary humorous
fantasy Mythology series (no relation), and the medical science
fiction series, Taylor’s Ark. Jody also wrote The Dragonlover’s
Guide to Pern, The Visual Guide to Xanth, and edited an anthology
entitled Don’t Forget Your Spacesuit, Dear! Her newest book,
Strong Arm Tactics, is the first in a humorous science fiction military
series, The Wolfe Pack. Jody lives in the northwest suburbs of Chicago,
with her husband and two cats, Jeremy and Miles. |
