Firedragon Rising (11 page)

Mary Fan is a hopeless dreamer, whose mind
insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music major in
college, she told those stories through compositions. Now she tells
them through books—a habit she began as soon as she could pick up a
pencil. Flynn Nightsider and the Edge of Evil follows a
well-received debut novel, a space opera titled Artificial
Absolutes (2013), and is the first in the Flynn Nightsider series.
Mary would like to think that there are many other novels in her
bag, and hopes to prove that to the world as well.

Mary lives in New Jersey and has a B.A. from
Princeton University. When she’s not scheming to create new worlds,
she enjoys kickboxing, opera singing, and blogging about everything
having to do with books.
