My first novel was hailed by PW as an "impressive debut" and won an Oregon Book Award. Since then, I've published over 30 books, including the popular Garrison Gage mysteries. Also the cartoonist behind www.runofthehouse.net. | www.scottwilliamcarter.com.

My story, "Strays," which originally appeared in the September/October 2025 issue of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, will appear in The Best Science Fiction of the Year: 2025, edited by Neil Clarke. A nice honor! And looking at the TOC, what great company.
