“Stories
are really important to people and can really change the way they understand
and even live their lives. As such, I don't agree much with people who say,
'Calm down, it's just a story.” – Tim Pratt
Pratt,
who was born in North Carolina on this date in 1976, is Senior Editor at Locus Magazine when he isn’t busy
writing science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories or crafting yet
another award-winning poem. A graduate
of Appalachian State University, where he majored in English and started his
writing career, he now makes his home in California.
Pratt’s work has appeared in
journals like Asimov’s Science Fiction and Strange Horizons, and America’s Best Short Stories. 
He
has had his stories and poems published in many Year's Best collections, winning a Hugo Award, a
Rhysling Award, and an Emperor Norton Award, as well as numerous nominations in
many other Sci-Fi and Fantasy categories along the way. His most popular novel is a tale of magic
and mystery, Heirs of Grace, set in his native North Carolina.

Pratt
said he enjoys travel and adventure and recommends it to all. “Life is full of borders,” he said. “Some of them, once crossed, can never be
crossed again in the other direction. But there are new countries to discover
across every one.”
