BIOGRAPHY
Ray Nayler is the author of the critically acclaimed, Locus Award winning debut novel The Mountain in the Sea, published in the US by MCDxFSG and in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The Washington Post called Mountain "(a) poignant, mind-expanding debut" and Slate called it "(a) wondrous novel." David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas, said: "I loved this novel’s brain and heart, its hidden traps, sheer propulsion, ingenious world-building and the purity of its commitment to luminous ideas." Positively reviewed in the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, Publisher's Weekly (starred review) and many others, and a best book of the year at Amazon and Slate, The Mountain in the Sea was a finalist for the Nebula Award and for the LA Times Book Awards' Ray Bradbury Award for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction.
Born in Quebec and raised in California, Ray Nayler lived and worked abroad for two decades in Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, and Kosovo. A Russian speaker, he has also learned Turkmen, Albanian, Azerbaijani Turkish, and Vietnamese. Ray is a Foreign Service Officer. He previously worked in international educational development, as well as serving in the Peace Corps in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. In Vietnam he was Environment, Science, Technology, and Health Officer at the U.S. consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. Ray currently serves as the international advisor to the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Beginning in August, 2023, he will be Diplomatic Fellow and Visiting Scholar at the Institute for International Science and Technology Policy at The George Washington University. He holds an MA in Global Diplomacy from the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS, the University of London.
Ray began publishing speculative fiction in 2015 in the pages of Asimov’s with the short story "Mutability". Since then, his critically acclaimed stories have seen print in Clarkesworld, Analog, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Lightspeed, Vice (Terraform), and Nightmare, as well as in several Locus Recommended Reading lists and many “Best of the Year” anthologies. His story "Yesterday's Wolf" won the 2022 Clarkesworld Readers' poll. In the same year, his story, "Muallim" won the Asimov's Readers' Award, his story "Father", in French translation, won the Bifrost readers' award, and his novelette "Sarcophagus" was a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Award. Ray's story "Winter Timeshare” from the January/February 2017 issue of Asimov's was collected by the late Gardner Dozois in The Very Best of the Best: 35 Years of the Year's Best Science Fiction. Locus has called him "One of the up-and-coming masters of SF short fiction." His work has been translated into over a dozen languages.
In addition to his speculative fiction, Ray has published in many genres, from mainstream "literary" fiction to comics. His short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen, Crimewave, Hardboiled, Cemetery Dance, Deathrealm, Queen's Quarterly, and the Berkeley Fiction Review, among other journals. His opinion pieces have appeared in New Scientist and at LitHub. He is a widely published poet, (sometimes publishing under his full name, Raynald Patrice Desmeules Nayler), with work in the Atlanta Review, the Beloit Poetry Journal, Weave, Juked, Able Muse, Sentence, and many more.
Ray currently lives in Washington, DC with his wife Anna, their daughter Lydia, and two rescued cats – one Tajik, one American. Ray is represented by Seth Fishman at the Gernert Company. His novella The Tusks of Extinction will be published in January 2024 by Tor.com.
