A native New Yorker and former biologist, Anne Lesley Groell has been working in science fiction and fantasy publishing for close to fifteen years — although she has been a devotee of the genre far longer. She worked for two and a half years at Avon Books, then moved on to Bantam Spectra, where she is a Senior Editor, working with such authors as New York Times bestselling authors such as George R.R. Martin, Keri Arthur, and Kelley Armstrong, as well as award-winning luminaries like Connie Willis and Kim Stanley Robinson. In addition, she has also published three fantasy novels under her own name for Roc (Anvil of the Sun, Bridge of Valor, and Cauldron of Iniquity — now all out of print) and a paranormal romance, Seal Island, for Tor, under the name of Kate Brallier. Kate's current books — The Boundless Deep and The Love Talker — are also under contract to Tor. And, as if two names weren't enough, she occasionally also masquerades as Anne Keck, thanks to her August 2004 marriage to Canadian author David Keck.
