By day, EVAN DICKEN studies old Japanese maps and crunches data for research at The Ohio State University. By night, he does neither of these things. His fiction has most recently appeared in: Analog, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Strange Horizons, and he has stories forthcoming from Black Library and Rampant Loon Press.
"""Dicken crafted some top-notch puzzles for the characters to solve. I did really enjoy the story and do recommend it, especially if anyone is looking for a new series to draw them in."" -- Cosmic Circus ""I had a lot of fun with The Heart of Iuchiban and I think it earns a four out of five."" -- Tympest Books ""All in all this was a brilliant addition to the growing Legend of the Five Rings line up and I cannot wait to read more in this line and more work by Evan Dicken who clearly knows the source material and is passionate about their writing."" -- What You Tolkien About “Imaginative, deftly written and action-packed.” -- Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer, on The Red Hours"
