Zack Gardner was born a poor lad in the sewers of York. He was raised by circus-folk and taught to draw by a magical cat with opposable thumbs. In his teenage years he grew an egg-tooth, got into a couple of fights, and got dumped a bunch. When he got older he went to college in Baltimore, traveled a bit, and married his high school sweetheart. He's a nice guy, but he's been known to lie. To date, he's been in a couple anthologies, self-published a slew (yes, a slew) of his own work, and won the audacious Xeric Grant for his book, Fauna. Right now he’s working on adding to the slew and maybe getting someone else to publish hiswork. (It seems like it might be easier.) Uhm, cat-person, married, homeowner, bleeder, glass-half-empty person. Favorite pasttime: trying to remember all the stuff that he’s forgotten.
