Lina Rather is a speculative fiction author from Michigan, now living in Washington, D.C. Her work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Shimmer, Flash Fiction Online, and Lightspeed. When she isn’t writing, she likes to cook, go hiking, and collect terrible 90s comic books. She wishes she could say she has a dog, but alas, she lives under the tyranny of landlords. You can find more about her and her other stories on her website. She also spends altogether too much time on Twitter as @LinaRather.
