A.S. King has recently returned from Ireland, where she spent a decade dividing herself between self-sufficiency, teaching adult literacy, and writing novels. Her short fiction has been widely published and has been nominated for Best New American Voices 2010. Her next novel, Please Ignore Vera Dietz is due from Knopf in October 2010.

She now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and children and is a huge fan of corn on the cob, nice weather, and fleece socks.

She is not (and has never been) a pirate.
