Christie Yant lives on California’s central coast, where she writes science fiction and fantasy stories and blogs at Inkpunks.com, a site for new, nearly new, and newly pro writers. Her fiction can be found in the anthologies The Way of the Wizard and Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy 2011 (both from Prime Books) and in Armored, forthcoming from Baen. She lives with her two amazing daughters, her husband, and assorted four-legged nuisances. Follow her on twitter @inkhaven.
