Eirik Gumeny is over six feet tall and enjoys sugar. Originally from the highway-choked suburbs of New Jersey, he now lives in the mile-high desert of New Mexico. He is very pale and it is very sunny, so he will probably combust any day now. Eirik is the author of the Exponential Apocalypse series, co-author of Screw the Universe, and a folder of origami cranes. His short fiction has been published in a number of journals and anthologies, including Thieves Jargon, Untoward, and Monkeybicycle.
