While he has yet to ride a hippalektryon, creating his own board games for <i>Frostborn, Nightborn, </i> and now <i>Skyborn</i> is one of his favorite indulgences. Anders is the recipient of a Hugo Award for editing and a Chesley Award for art direction, and was named a Thurber House Writer-in-Residence. He has published over 500 articles and stories on science fiction and fantasy television and literature. He resides with his family in Birmingham, Alabama.
