J M McDermott lives in Benbrook, TX, though he still doesn’t quite understand how that happened. His first novel, LAST DRAGON, was #6 on Amazon.com’s Editors’ Picks for Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels of 2008. His short fiction is appearing or forthcoming in Weird Tales Magazine, Fantasy Magazine, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, and numerous other places.  When not writing, he can often be found staring off into space while humming video game theme songs.
