Troy Tang writes speculative fiction in a variety of styles, from the wryly romantic to the insidiously horrific, but tends to take himself in a very cavalier way. His specialties include never being entirely serious about anything, writing down whatever comes to his mind at the moment, and musing on the joys of good storytelling. Born in Singapore, he moved to California for toddler initiation, went back to Singapore for primary school, flew to Auckland, New Zealand for intermediate and high school, zipped on back to Singapore to complete his mandatory army service and at last rolled back to Auckland when it became clear that his days of never actually settling in a single place were not over. He likes to think that this bifurcation has given him some new and rarefied perspective on life, but it has not. He looks forward to meeting you all.
