Alethea Kontis

A former child actress, Chemistry major, and Orson Scott Card Boot Camper (class of 2003), New York Times bestselling author and self-proclaimed Genre Chick Alethea Kontis's first foray into the literary world was a mixed-up picture book-AlphaOops: The Day Z Went First. (The sequel, AlphaOops: H is for Halloween, will be published in 2009.)

In 2005, she co-edited the critically acclaimed SF all-star Elemental: New Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy for Tor Books. She also penned the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark-Hunter Companion (St. Martin's Press). Her short stories have appeared in Realms of Fantasy, Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, and featured in Apex Online (http://www.apexdigest.com/online.shtml). Beauty and Dynamite, a collection of her published and unpublished essays (featuring cameos by various authors and editors you know and love), will be released in January 2008.

Alethea lives in Tennessee, where she works as a buyer for Ingram Book Company, a contributing editor for Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest, and a freelance editor for Solaris Books UK. Find out more about Alethea's plans for world domination on her website: www.aletheakontis.com.
