Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent American humanist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry and nonfiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. She has been inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.

Laura Anne Gilman started her career in publishing as an editorial assistant in New York City. After publishing several short stories (her first professional fiction sale was 1994 to Amazing Stories), some media tie-ins, and a job as an executive editor she published her first original novel Staying Dead, a “Cosa Nostradamus”-universe “Retrievers” book. The first book of a second series in this universe named “Paranormal Scene Investigations”, Hard Magic, was published in Spring 2010, and a second should follow in Spring 2011. Flesh and Fire, the first novel in the “Vineart War” series, was released in 2009. The “Vineart War” series deviates from the urban fantasy setting of the Cosa Nostradamus books, having more of a traditional fantasy feel. Flesh and Fire was nominated for the 2009 Nebula Award for Best Novel.

She currently lives in New York City, where she also runs d.y.m.k. Productions.
