The Last Stormdancer (16 page)

JAY KRISTOFF grew up in the most isolated capital city on earth and fled at his earliest convenience, although he’s been known to trek back for weddings of the particularly nice and funerals of the particularly wealthy. Being the holder of an arts degree, he has no education to speak of.

He is 6'7 and has approximately 13,870 days to live. He lives in Melbourne with his wife and the world’s laziest Jack Russell terrier. Visit him online at
