M.O. Pirson is a Belgo-Irish crossbreed, currently based in the Walloon countryside. He is a biologist by day and speculative fiction writer by night—and therefore a very tired person, generally speaking. When he isn’t working or writing, he enjoys the occasional banjo lick and being bossed around by two tiny (and far cuter) versions of himself. His short fiction has previously appeared in the Strange Wars: Speculative Fiction of Coalitions in Conflict and Revolutions 2: An Anthology of Speculative Fiction set in Manchester anthologies.
