Born under (what else?) Leo, Tristan MacAvery began writing almost before he could speak. He published his first short story in 1977, and he continues to perform this subversive act of writing on a regular basis. Lion Dance is his second published novel, now re-released through First Books Library; his first book, the demoniacal horror novel Divine Intervention, is also available through First Books, along with other works. Also an actor, director, and improvist, he has provided scripts and voices for Japanese anime and is part of the comedy trio “aTm.” On top of all this, he’s pursuing his Masters in Humanities, for the sheer love of it. He is a lifelong romantic and lives, still single, in Houston TX.
