Author Biography

Henry Zou lives in Sydney, Australia. He first started writing on long and lonely military exercises with the Army. These scribbled notes and drawings, tucked into the underside of his helmet became the basis for his stories. Of these nonsensical musings, the first piece to become published appeared in the Planetkill anthology. When Henry is not working or studying, he devotes all his time to submission wrestling and listening to Baltic gypsy rock.
