Elizabeth Bear
Elizabeth Bear
is an American author. She works
primarily in the genre of speculative fiction, and was a winner of the
2005 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, the 2008 Hugo Award for
Best Short Story for “Tideline”, and the 2009 Hugo Award for Best
Novelette for “Shoggoths in Bloom”. She is one of only five writers
who have gone on to win multiple Hugo Awards for fiction after winning
the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
Elizabeth was born on the same day as Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, but in a
different
year. This, coupled with a childhood tendency to read the dictionary for
fun, led her inevitably to penury, intransigence, the mispronunciation
of common English words, and the writing of speculative fiction.

Grail (Jacob’s Ladder Trilogy),
