Hellbent (41 page)
Authors: Cherie Priest
Thanks to Team Seattle and all its affiliates, scattered across the country though we are these days. In particular, thanks to Kat Richardson for the fish sammiches; Ellen Milne and Suezie Hagy for the surprise snacks and the cat-sitting services; Greg Wild-Smith for shepherding me around SF and for keeping my website alive despite my best efforts to slay it dead.
Speaking of Seattle and its support network, permanent thanks go to Duane Wilkins for managing all the signed stuff and shipping over at the University Book Store; and to Vlad and Steve over at Third Place for always throwing a hell of an event.

ABOUT THE AUTHORC
HERIE
P
RIEST
is the author of ten novels, including
Bloodshot
and the steampunk pulp adventures in the Clockwork Century series. Her 2009 book
Boneshaker
was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award; it was a PNBA Award winner and winner of the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Cherie also wrote
Fathom
and the Eden Moore series from Tor (Macmillan), and three novellas published by Subterranean Press. In addition to all of the above, she is a newly minted member of the Wild Cards Consortium—and her first foray into George R. R. Martin’s superhero universe,
Fort Freak
(for which she wrote the frame story), debuted in the summer of 2011. Cherie’s short stories and nonfiction articles have appeared in such fine publications as
Weird Tales, Subterranean Magazine, Publishers Weekly
, and the Stoker-nominated anthology
Aegri Somnia
from Apex. Though she spent most of her life in the southeast, she presently lives in Seattle, Washington, with her husband and a fat black cat.
