From Sung in Blood: "Glen Cook is the author of numerous science fiction and fantasy books. His works include the Black Company fantasy series and the Garrett hard-boiled-detective/fantasy series. He is also the author of the Dread Empire series, the Star Fishers series (an SF series dedicated to Richard Wagner), and Dragon Never Sleeps. He met his wife, Carol, at Clarion in 1970 and they now have three children. Cook lives in St. Louis, and works nights in a GM plant. When he isn't writing books or assembling trucks, he runs a huckster table at science fiction conventions and collects stamps."
