About the Author

Holly Lisle has been writing novels professionally since 1991, when she sold FIRE IN THE MIST to Baen Books.

The novel went on to win the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel in 1993, sold remarkably well, and stayed in print for about ten years, giving Holly a seriously skewed view of the ease of publishing, corrected by reality shortly thereafter.

Nevertheless, she has, at the time of this writing, sold more than thirty novels commercially, and is both re-releasing many of her novels via self-publishing, and self-publishing her newest novels. Look for the re-release of Cadence Drake: Hunting the Corrigan's Blood to kick off her long-awaited ten-book Cadence Drake series.

Lisle also wrote and has been teaching two of the most challenging fiction-writing courses in existence: How To Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers, and How To Revise Your Novel: Get the Book You WANT From the One You WROTE. You'll be able to find these here, too.
