Ellen Kushner’s Riverside series begins with the cult
classic Swordspoint, followed by the Locus Award winner and
Nebula Award nominee The Privilege of the Sword; The Fall of
the Kings, written with Delia Sherman; and, most recently, the
collaborative prequel Tremontaine. Her mythic fantasy
novel Thomas the Rhymer won the World Fantasy Award and the
Mythopoeic Award. She also co-edited Welcome to Bordertown with
Holly Black.
A popular performer and public speaker, Kushner created and hosted
the long-running public radio show Sound & Spirit, which Bill
Moyers called “the best thing on public radio.” She has taught
creative writing at the Clarion and Odyssey writing workshops and
is an instructor at Hollins University’s children’s literature MFA
program. She lives in New York City with Delia Sherman and no
cats whatsoever, in an apartment full of theater and airplane
ticket stubs.
“[Kushner] draws you through the story with such lucid, powerful
writing that you come to trust her completely--and she doesn’t let
you down...Watch this woman--she’s going to be one of the great
ones.”
--Orson Scott Card
"There is an element of high romance to Kushner’s work, but it is
honed to a bleeding edge by a deep appreciation of what motivates
men and women. These are fantasies for adults, with the pang of
real love and loss in them, sometimes surprisingly violent,
sometimes breathtakingly tender, and sometimes very passionate
indeed." --Realms of Fantasy
