Stefon Mears has been accused of having telepathy on occasion, but nothing has been proven conclusively. Stefon earned his M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts, and his B.A. in Religious Studies (double emphasis in Ritual and Mythology) from U.C. Berkeley. To date Stefon has published more than a dozen short pieces and one other novel, Magician's Choice. He lives in Oregon with his wife and three cats, and when not writing he can often be found playing roleplaying games.
