Author Biography
George R. R. Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels,
including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire–A Game of Thrones,
A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with
Dragons–as well as Tuf Voyaging, Fevre Dream, The Armageddon Rag, Dying of the
Light, Windhaven (with Lisa Tuttle), and Dreamsongs Volumes I and II. He is
also the creator of The Lands of Ice and Fire, a collection of maps from A Song
of Ice and Fire featuring original artwork from illustrator and cartographer
Jonathan Roberts, and The World of Ice & Fire, with Elio M. Garcia, Jr., and
Linda Antonsson. As a writer-producer, he has worked on The Twilight Zone,
Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made.
He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Eric Velhagen began
drawing at an early age. After discovering the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien
and the powerful artwork of Frank Frazetta, he realized that he wanted to devote
himself to fantasy art. But it took twenty-five years, after getting sidetracked
working as a freelance advertising illustrator and in construction, for him to
finally take the leap. Since submitting paintings to Spectrum 17, Velhagen has
twice been nominated for a Chesley Award in the unpublished category. He lives
with his wife and his son in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
