About this author

Marie Brennan is the author of the Doppelganger and Onyx Court series of fantasy novels.


As I mentioned a while ago, my short story "Centuries of Kings" is going to be in the charity anthology Neverland's Library , whose sales will benefit the literacy charity First Book.

Before it can do that, though, the anthology has to be funded. You can find them over at Indiegogo -- note that this is a "flexible funding" campaign, which means all pledges will be honored, even if the project do... Read more of this blog post »

"True. But I'd want the collection to feel reasonably substantial -- at least 50K, I'd think. Otherwise it feels like I'm jumping the gun."

More of Marie's books…
“Their characteristics are well-known. They're beautiful -- when they're not astoundingly ugly. They're both goddesses for men to worship, and demons for them to flee. They adore children, sometimes to the point of unhealthy obsession. They have a strong association with nature, from which they're often assumed to draw magical power. Their anger is a terrible thing to behold, and all the more fearsome because anything can spark it; the rules by which these creatures operate are not those of rational men. They are creatures of fanciful whim, and they never, ever, can be understood.

I'm talking, of course, about women.”
Marie Brennan

“Once we love, we cannot revoke it,' she said. 'We can only glory in what it brings -- pain as well as joy, grief as well as hope.”
Marie Brennan, Midnight Never Come

“Matriarchy is a time-honored staple for any writer looking to invent an exotic society.”
Marie Brennan

I'm glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. (There are also some short stories, too, which you can find through my website.)
