Antony Searle is a graduate student in physics at The Australian National University in Canberra and a long-time member of the Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild. He has appeared in their "Nor of Human..." and "Machinations" anthologies, and is shortlisted by AntipodeanSF for their annual award (voting now open...). Using his powers of science for goodness and niceness, he has delivered polemical seminars and an article in "Visions" to beat the fundamentals of relativity into his hapless fellow writers. He is currently working on the high-fantasy prose piece "Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy".
