Bio

T.C. McCarthy is a critically acclaimed southern author whose literary short fiction has appeared in Per Contra: The International Journal of the Arts, Literature and Ideas, in Story Quarterly and in Nature. His debut, award winning, science fiction novel, Germline, and its sequel, Exogene are available worldwide and the final book of the trilogy, Chimera, was released in August 2012. In addition to being an author, T.C. is a PhD scientist, a Fulbright Fellow, a Howard Hughes Biomedical Research Scholar, and a winner of the prestigious University of Virginia Award for Undergraduate Research.

Ernest Lilley, Reviewer Emeritus for SF Revu, had this to say about T.C.'s Campbell qualifying novel, Germline: "It's not just good...it's the mil-sf book I wish I could send back in time to beat out Forever War for a Hugo. I never would have guessed McCarthy was an analyst...I was sure he'd been on the pointy end for a long time." Germline subsequently won the Baltimore Science Fiction Society's Compton Crook Award in 2012.
