Author Biography
Alpheus Hyatt Verrill lived an adventurous life from 1871 to 1954. Born in New Haven, Connecticut to a Yale zoology professor, Hyatt traveled the world, writing with great confidence about everything he encountered, on topics ranging from natural history to science fiction to wilderness survival skills. He was buddies with Teddy Roosevelt, and H.P. Lovecraft once made fun of him in a short story. Elly Blue is a co-owner and the vice president of Microcosm Publishing, and the co-host of the People's Guide to Publishing podcast. Her books include Everyday Bicycling and Bikenomics, and she is the editor of the annual Bikes in Space anthology of feminist bicycle science fiction. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her partner, their dog, and a small fleet of cargo bicycles.
