Edward Cowan was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1977, his birth heralding the post-Elvis phase of American history. He currently lives in Athens, Georgia. When he’s not churning out novels, he enjoys Athens’ legendary music scene, backpacking, and renovating his house. His short fiction has appeared in such august publications as Escape Pod, Ideomancer, and The First Line. He also writes the occasional nonfiction piece concerning politics or pop-culture. And, yes, he draws lots of pictures of skeletons, often wearing sweater vests.
