- Gerri Leen was born in Ohio, lived most of her younger life in and around Seattle and Belfair, Washington, and has spent the last twenty odd years in Reston in Northern Virginia. She dabbled with writing when younger, but started writing steadily in her forties, and her first publications came in the Star Trek Strange New Worlds books (volumes seven, nine, and ten)—her story “The Smell of Dead Roses” took the grand prize in the tenth and final volume. She has since had stories appear in a diverse range of publications, both anthologies and magazines (print and web). She primarily focuses on science fiction and fantasy themes, but has occasionally moved over to literary and poetry. She points to Joss Whedon, Connie Willis, Kevin Smith, Doug Coupland, Ron Moore, and Quentin Tarantino as professional idols. Her favorite places in the world are Port Townsend, Washington; Vail, Colorado; Palm Desert, California; Venice, Italy; and just about anywhere in Guatemala. She is a horseracing fanatic and can often be found blogging about the weekend races at her LiveJournal. Keep up with Gerri at www.gerrileen.com.

The author's style is clean, spare and often lyrical and stands out to me for the way it catches various voices: from a tough old lady remembering her good times with truckers in "Memory Lane" to the down to earth survivor in the post-apocalyptic tale "Life Without Crows" to the old groom of a talking race horse who manages his own career in "Bluegrass Dreams Aren’t for Free" to a subversive Biblical Ruth in "Whither Thou Goest." The stories feature historical figures like Anne Boleyn and Francis Drake; Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese goddesses and Biblical figures; early hominids, dragons, ghosts, vampires and were-crows and robots and aliens. Memorable characters who grab at the heart, stories that often have a twist in the tale, that make you laugh or cry or gasp--served with lovely prose and featuring eye-poppingly gorgeous illustrations by Maggie Middleton, a young artist. (The beautiful cover art is "The Song of Eternity," by another artist, Richard Kirsten-Daiensai.)
