Authors Biographies - Q to T
Reed and Mayer, Mary and Eric.
Mary Reed shared an interest in science fiction with Eric Mayer (who has a BA in English literature and a JD - Juris Doctor) and they corresponded regularly. When Mary emigrated from England to America, they met and eventually married. Both having been published authors, it was natural that thereafter they collaborated and the "John the Eunuch" series was born. Their stories have been published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as well as several anthologies edited by Mike Ashley.
