About this author

By the time she was fourteen, Laura Anne Gilman knew she would be an editor, a teacher, or a writer.

By thirty, she was all three. She's a little focused that way.

After fifteen years working in NY publishing, Laura Anne became a full-time writer, with more than twenty novels under her various bylines, including the Nebula Award-nominated Vineart War trilogy, and the 10-book Cosa Nostradamus series. She is also a serial short fiction writer, but her friends seem to like her anyway...



Because I've noted an interesting consistency in reactions, this is just for my own curiosity. You will not be graded (or judged) so please answer honestly...

“I am a trained professional liar. Do not read me as a textbook.”
Laura Anne Gilman

“Manhattan in the morning is a living stream of Purpose; everyone's got a place to be and a problem on their mind. That doesn't mean it's and unfriendly place -- just busy and preoccupied. Personally, I love it. I'm a social creature but there are times and places you just don't want to do more than grunt at your fellow human being.”
Laura Anne Gilman

“Clever's not enough to hold me - I want characters who are more than devices to be moved about for Effect.”
