Cherie Priest is the author of eight novels, including the steampunk pulp adventure Boneshaker. Boneshaker was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award; it was a PNBA Award winner, and a Locus Award winner for Best Science Fiction Novel.

Cherie also wrote Fathom and the Eden Moore series from Tor, and her novellas Dreadful Skin, Clementine, and Those Who Went Remain There Still are published by Subterranean Press.

In addition to all of the above, she is a 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), will debut in June 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.
