The award-winning
author of more than fifty novels, Nancy Springer’s prodigious
output includes the Books of Isle,
Tales of Rowan Hood,
and Sea King
fantasy series, and a plethora of magical realism, women’s fiction,
contemporary young adult and other titles. She received the James
Tiptree Jr. Award for Larque on the Wing (1994),
the Edgar Allan Poe Award for her juvenile mysteries Toughing It
(1994) and Looking for Jamie Bridger (1995),
Carolyn W. Field  Award for I am Mordred (1998), and has been
a frequent nominee for the Nebula, Hugo, World Fantasy, and
Mythopoeic awards. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown
will produce and star in a series of films adapted from Springer’s
acclaimed Enola Holmes mystery series about Sherlock Holmes’
younger sister.

Much of her short
fiction and poetry have been collected in Chance and Other
Gestures of the Hand of Fate (1987) and Stardark Songs
(1993). Springer edited the anthologies Prom Night (1999) and
Ribbiting Tales (2000). Recent works include THE ODDLING PRINCE, her long awaited return to fantasy genre, and GrandGhost,
a haunted house tale.

All of us at Tachyon wish the extraordinary Nancy a happy birthday, full of mirth, magic, and mystery.
