An accomplished cancer imaging researcher by day, Ashton is an equally accomplished science fiction author by night. Now one of his novels, Mickey7, is being adapted into a feature film titled Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon-ho and starring Robert Pattinson. The film premieres in theaters April 18. // photo by J.

Edward Ashton is the author of the novels Mickey7, Three Days in April and The End of Ordinary. His short fiction has appeared in venues ranging from the newsletter of an Italian sausage company to Escape Pod, Analog, and Fireside Fiction. He lives in upstate New York in a cabin in the woods (not that Cabin in the Woods) with his wife, a variable number of daughters, and an adorably mopey dog named Max, where he writes—mostly fiction, occasionally fact—under the watchful eyes of a giant woodpecker and a rotating cast of barred owls. In his free time, he enjoys cancer research, teaching quantum physics to sullen graduate students, and whittling. You can find him online at edwardashton.com or on Twitter @edashtonwriting.
