Bio
A former child actress, Chemistry major, and Orson Scott Card Boot Camper, Alethea Kontis’s first foray into the literary world was a mixed-up picture book—AlphaOops: The Day Z Went First. In 2006, she co-edited the critically acclaimed SF all-star Elemental: The Tsunami Relief Anthology for Tor Books, and launched her exclusive dark fantasy and horror small press, Nyx Books. She also penned the Companion for Sherrilyn Kenyon’s bestselling Dark-Hunter universe (October 2007), which spent two weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list. Her short stories have appeared in Realms of Fantasy (2006), Apex Online, and Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. Beauty and Dynamite, a collection of her published and unpublished essays (featuring cameos by authors and editors you know and love) will be released in January 2008.
Alethea lives in Tennessee, where she works as a buyer for Ingram Book Company, a contributing nonfiction editor for Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest, and a freelance editor for Solaris Books. Find out more about Alethea’s plans for world domination on her website: www.aletheakontis.com.
