Will McDermott has clawed his way from total obscurity to relative obscurity in just a few short years. The former editor-in-chief of both Duelist and TopDeck magazines, Will’s fiction credits include the Magic: The Gathering novel, Judgment, and three Magic short stories - "The Lady of the Mountain" in the Myths of Magic anthology, "Journey Home" in The Secrets of Magic anthology, and "Ach! Hans, Run!" in the forthcoming Monsters of Magic anthology. He is currently working on his second Magic novel, which will be published by Wizards of the Coast in late 2003. Will lives in Hamburg, New York, with his comely wife, three young ruffians, and one large, insane dog.
