Software engineer in a previous life, Vance Pravat has lived and worked in all four hemispheres of the planet, but imaginary worlds is where he really likes to be. He has been an ardent fan of all things sci-fi for as long as he can remember, devouring everything from golden age and new wave SF to cyberpunk and all its post-80s offshoots before he decided to write some of his own. Zeroglyph is his debut novel.
