Short fiction snuck into Ziv’s life in his teens. It struck a tent, has been entrenched ever since, and sometimes throws parties. Outside the Castle, Ziv is a programmer, a source-control evangelist, and Assistant Editor at Diabolical Plots. He spends much of his time lovingly fending off his three children. Check out zivwities.com for Ziv’s expert overanalyses of Knives Out, Too Like The Lightning, and Star Trek: Discovery, for some writerly Q&A, and for whatever he does next. He tweets, vaguely, as @QuiteVague.
