Author Description

In its brief existence, Rosarium Publishing has worked hard in “introducing the world to itself” through groundbreaking, award-winning science fiction and comics. In combing the planet to find the best in each field, Rosarium's own Bill Campbell has found a fellow spirit in Italian publisher, Francesco Verso. Borrowing from the fine tradition of American underground dance labels introducing international labels' music to the people back home, Rosarium brings to you Future Fiction: New Dimensions in International Science Fiction, a thrilling collection of innovative science fiction originally published by Francesco Verso's Italian company, Future Fiction. Here you will find thirteen incredible tales from all around the globe that will not only introduce you to worlds you may not be familiar with but also expand your horizons and the horizons of the science fiction field itself. Bill Campbell is the author of Sunshine Patriots, My Booty Novel, and Pop Culture: Politics, Puns, "Poohbutt" from a Liberal Stay-at-Home Dad, and Koontown Killing Kaper. Along with Edward Austin Hall, he co-edited the groundbreaking anthology, Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond as well as Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany (with Nisi Shawl) and the Glyph Award-winning comic book anthology, APB: Artists against Police Brutality (with Jason Rodriguez and John Jennings). Campbell lives in Washington, DC, where he spends his time with his family, helps produce audio books for the blind, and helms Rosarium Publishing. Francesco Verso is the author of several SF books in Italian and winner of the Odyssey Award, The Cassiopea Award, and two Urania Mondadori Awards. He's currently working on his latest book, I Camminatori, that will deal with the consequences of the substitution of food with nanotechnology. He is the editor of the mutlicultural Future Fiction anthology series in Italian. He lives in Rome with his wife and daughter.
