Michael H. Payne's short fiction has appeared in places like Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress series, and the Writers of the Future anthology; his novel The Blood Jaguar, originally published by Tor Books, will be reprinted in an illustrated edition next year by Sofawolf Press.
