Über den Autor / die Autorin
Dicus grew up in Nevada, but he’s lived in Chicago, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and New York, where he currently lives with his wife and two kids. His kids are actually cats. In case that makes you sad, one of the cats' names is Dennis, and Dennis doesn’t know how to meow. Dicus is a professor of books nobody reads, but it took him decades to learn how to spell medieval.
