About the authors

Andrew Fox

Andrew Fox was born in 1964 and grew up in
North Miami Beach, Florida. He attended Loyola
University in New Orleans, where he studied social
work and wrote a fantasy play for visually-handi-
capped children that involved the audience rubbing
their hands on a vaseline-coated foam rubber mer-
maid's tail and sniffing spoiled sardines. He has
worked as manager of the Louisiana Commodity
Supplemental Food Program, a federally-funded
monthly nutrition program for low-income senior
citizens. In 1995, following the death of his cousin
in the French Quarter on New Year's Eve due to a
falling bullet, he helped found the New Year Coali-
tion, an advocacy group that helps educate the pub-
lic about the dangers of celebratory gunfire. Also in
1995, he joined a monthly writing workshop found-
ed by award-winning SF author George Alee
Effinger.
