Scott Lynch & Elizabeth Bear

FANTASTIC FICTION at KGB reading series, hosts Ellen Datlow and Matthew Kressel present:

Because of an illness Caitlin R. Kiernan has had to cancel so the intrepid Elizabeth Bear is stepping up to bat in her stead:

	Elizabeth Bear was born on the same day as Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, but in a different year. She is a Hugo and Sturgeon Award winner, and her most recent novel is Range of Ghosts, an epic fantasy inspired by the history and cultures of Central Asia. She lives in a tiny town in Massachusetts with a giant ridiculous dog, but may frequently be found visiting Wisconsin, where she keeps her partner, the other guy reading tonight
&
	Scott Lynch, whose current projects are the forthcoming The Republic of Thieves, third novel in the Gentleman Bastard sequence, and the ongoing Queen of the Iron Sands, a serial pulp adventure set on a hidden Mars in the early 1950s.
