Jordan Chase-Young grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where melancholy skies and spectacular scenery imprinted his idea of home. He now lives in Australia with his wife, Caitlin, and their menagerie of cryptids. He loves reading and writing about the distant future, traveling the Australian countryside, goofing around on Twitter, and drawing (he met his wife over one of his illustrations of aliens). His stories have appeared or are forthcoming in F&SF, Unidentified Funny Objects 8, the ZNB anthology When Worlds Collide, and many other venues.
