Liz Argall is a speculative fiction author, and creator of the all ages webcomic series, Things Without Arms and Without Legs, a comic about creatures who are kind. Her fiction can be found in places like Uncanny Magazine, Antipodes, This is How You Die: Stories of the Inscrutable, Infallible, Inescapable Machine of Death, and Escape Artists’ podcasts. In January 2009 her musical Comic Book Opera, written with composer Michael Sollis, was performed for the first time. Two of her short stories are regularly staged as plays. Liz is a lapsed fire twirler, folk singer, performance poet, and derby girl. She doesn’t remember her first D&D game, because she was four. Her previous incarnations include circus manager, refuge worker, artists’ model, research officer for the Order of Australia Awards, farm girl, and extensive work in the not-for-profit sector. Liz lives in Seattle, but her heart misses the big silly birds of Australia.
