About Anthony Francis

By day Dr. Anthony G. Francis, Jr. builds intelligent machines and emotional robots; by night he writes science fiction and draws comic books. He received his PhD from Georgia Tech in 2000 for a thesis applying human memory principles to information retrieval; since then he’s worked on search engines, robot pets, military software, police software, and software for the CDC. Robot pets have been the most fun and currently occupy his 20% time on the Cloud Robotics team at Google.

Anthony loves exploring the collision of reality with fantasy, starting with throwing vampires and werewolves into the firmly grounded setting of the Skindancer series: Atlanta, Georgia. Anthony spent almost two decades in Atlanta before he and his wife were lured out to the San Francisco Bay Area by the Search Engine That Starts With A G. Like Dakota, Anthony dropped out of college chemistry and is a brown belt in Taido, but unlike Dakota, he doesn’t have a single tattoo.

BLOOD ROCK is the second in the Skindancer urban fantasy series, following FROST MOON and preceding LIQUID FIRE, and Anthony has plans for many more. He’s also started a YA spin-off featuring Dakota’s adopted daughter, Cinnamon. You can visit him and learn more about the world of Dakota Frost at
