About the Author :

An avid  reader of  fantasy  literature since age six, Naomi Novik  is also a history buff with a particular fascination with  the Napoleonic era and a  fondness  for  the work of Patrick O'Brian and  Jane Austen. She began writing as a guilty pleasure while studying  for her Master's degree  in Computer Science at Columbia. She  found an opportunity  to combine her passions by developing computer games, starting with a multi-player online science  fiction game she created  in college  that has now been  in continuous operation  for almost a decade. She  is also  the  founder and organizer of  Vividcon,  the annual convention for digital video enthusiasts who create music videos and other short  films based on  their  favorite television shows and movies, and of  the Commonverse, a project dedicated  to applying  the "open source" approach  for software development  to  the writing of shared-universe  fiction. She  lives with her husband in New  York City.
