Sedigitus Swift
Sedigitus Swift is a historian by day and a pseudonymous fantasy author by night (as well as during eclipses or otherwise under cover of darkness). After toiling for twelve years at the U.S. Department of Justice, he became one of two in-house historians at Archelaus (because what upstart publishing house doesn’t need at least two?). When not diverting himself by writing Tales from Ondiran, an offbeat series of medieval fantasy novellas, he specializes in the perplexities of modern Central and Eastern Europe. No doubt he has other equally perverse interests, but we are not currently certain exactly what those might be.
