Nathan Elberg has an M.A. in anthropology and is working (slowly) on his doctorate. He's lived and hunted with Indians and Inuit, studied folklore, warfare, cannibalism, shamanism, Kabbalah, primitive art and communications among other things (all used to build the Quantum Cannibals world). He is a member of the Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction Association. He blogs occasionally at quantumcannibals.com
