ELIZABETH BEAR
Elizabeth Bear (elizabethbear.com) was born on the same day as Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, but in a different year. When coupled with a childhood tendency to read the dictionary for fun, this led her inevitably to penury, intransigence, and the writing of speculative fiction. She is the Hugo, Sturgeon, Locus, and Campbell Award–winning author of twenty-eight novels and over a hundred short stories. She now lives with her partner, Scott Lynch, somewhere in the wilds of America, with horses. Her most recent book is the collection The Best of Elizabeth Bear. Coming up is Machine, a sequel to Ancestral Night.
