Lezli Robyn is an Australian author, editor and Assistant Publisher of Arc Manor, who lives in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she resides with her blue-eyed mini-Dachshund/Chihuahua named Bindi (which means “little girl” in several indigenous Australian dialects).
Since her first short story sale to Clarkesworld, Lezli has sold fiction to professional markets around the world, including Asimov’s and Analog. In 2009 she was proud to become a finalist for the Australian Aurealis Award for Best SF Story, and finalist for the 2010 Spanish Premio Ignotus Award for Best Foreign Short Story, as well as a finalist for the 2010 Campbell Award for Best New Writer. In 2011 she won the Catalan Premi Ictineu Award with Mike Resnick for Best Translated Story, for “Soulmates”, and they won the award again in 2014, for their short story “Benchwarmer”. Both these stories are included in this collection.
