Seanan McGuire: Profile
A native Californian, Seanan McGuire is afraid of weather and remarkably laid-back about rattlesnakes. This sideways sensibility informs everything she does, from studying folklore to collecting horror movies and reading books about infectious disease. And, of course, writing.
Seanan’s first novel, ROSEMARY AND RUE, is available from DAW Books. To distract herself, she writes short fiction, essays, and a wide variety of other things, all of them a bit odd. Her first love remains urban fantasy, which explains the setting of ROSEMARY AND RUE. Her second love is for swamps, which explains Rush’s Bend, the small, strange town where Julie Broise meets her match.
“Lost” was originally published in the anthology RAVENS IN THE LIBRARY. (Third love: folklore.)
Seanan presently lives in Northern California, where she shares a house with too many horror movies, several chainsaws, enough books to constitute a fire hazard, and two blue monsters in feline form. She doesn’t sleep much, which explains how she can get so much done.
