Мэл Одом (Mel Odom) — американский писатель в жанрах научной фантастики и фэнтези, который написал более чем 140 книг. Родился в 1957 году в Калифорнии, но вскоре с родителями переехал в Оклахому. В детстве увлекался классическими произведениями («Робинзон Крузо», «Питер Пэн» и др.) и комиксами. В 1976 окончил высшую школу Бинга (Бинг, Оклахома), а позже получил высшее образование со степенью бакалавра в английском языке, окончив Восточный Центральный Университет (Ада, Оклахома). Создал удивительный и своеобразный мир, населенный как традиционными для жанра фэнтези волшебными народами, так и рожденными собственным воображением писателя, не похожими ни на какие другие существами. Яркий талант остроумного рассказчика и неиссякаемая фантазия снискали писателю заслуженное признание любителей фэнтези во многих странах.
