His story "Mutability" was published in The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016. “Mutability,” "Do Not Forget Me," "Winter Timeshare," "A Threnody for Hazan" and "Incident at San Juan Bautista" all appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine.

Ray speaks Russian and Azerbaijani, and has lived and worked in Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus for over a decade. He is currently studying Albanian at the Foreign Service Institute in preparation for an assignment to Pristina, Kosovo. The one story this year that came out of nowhere to stun me was “Mutability” – Rich Horton, Editor, The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy I feel a sense of loss whenever I finish a truly memorable story. Why couldn’t it go on? Why do I have to leave this wonderful world? This is how I felt after reading “Incident.” Perhaps it was the elegant writing, or maybe the attention to setting detail, but ultimately, I think it was the sheer originality that grabbed me." -- Jeffrey Steven Abrams, Tangent Online Upcoming Publications:
