About the Author
Rajnar Vajra

Rajnar Vajra was born in the same year that Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and something mysterious happened in Roswell, New Mexico. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Aside from writing, he is a professional musician, songwriter, music teacher, a practitioner of Zen and other contemplative disciplines, and has been a jeweler, a painter, a recording engineer, and much more. He follows developments in science, health, and understanding the mind’s nature with the closest attention. Not, perish the thought, primarily to mine human progress for writing ideas.

He has appeared more than thirty times in the pages of Analog Science Fiction and Fact and has also appeared in the online stories at Tor.com, and in Absolute Magnitude.
