Satirist. Aardvarkist. Sci fi writer. Swift Satire Award winner Ira Nayman gets around. The Ugly Truth, the eighth novel in his Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse series published by Elsewhen Press, came out in July, 2022. “Girls Rule the Steampunk World!”, his 24th published short story, appeared in Brave New Girls: Chronicles of Misses and Machines round the same time.

Oh, and as you may have noticed, Les Pages aux Folles, Ira’s web site of political and social satire, is now 20 years old. In internet time, that’s positively ancient!
