Author Bio

Tamara Sheehan is a fantasy and science fiction author currently living in Victoria, British Columbia. Raised on an acreage just outside Cranbrook BC, she spent most of her time running around barefoot and making up stories. For as long as she has been able to read, apart from a stint in grade two when she wanted to be a painter, Tamara has always wanted to be a writer. She refuses to accept responsibility for this and blames those who read to her as a child.

Tamara has published more than twenty short stories in the last five years. Her first novel, The Tenth Man, was published electronically by Bewildering Stories and then by Prizm books in December 2008. Her next novels,The Mediocre Assassin’s Handbook and Stormy Bamboo and Other Tales are both set in an alternative 19th century Asian world and both forthcoming in 2009. What can we say? The girl likes to write.

When she’s not writing, Tam and reads slush weekly for Bewildering Stories. She like feedback (no, really) so if you want to get in touch you can join her email list at tamarasheehan is @ hotmail dot com (and suffer spam once a month) or introduce yourself when you see her at a convention. If you want to pick up a copy of one of her books, check out the Shop.

    I am so glad that you are going to publish your book. I am sure it is an amazing experience for you.
    On my blog I just posted about the literary community the Red Room | Where the writers are, and you should check it out since you are a writer and fellow Canadian.
    Kindest,
    Michael

    Had a look at it and I’ll pass, but thanks for the suggestion. Social networking just eats my time. I even defacebooked myself (has anyone ever done such a thing?).

  • What I’m Reading Now

    I've spent the last few days at work and baking, which has been a good way to spend a blustery, rainy half week. I've also been curled up under the blankets on the couch with Philippa Greggory's book The Boleyn Inheritance, which I got by accident from a friend who was returning some books she'd borrowed from me and had accidentally stuck that one in the pile. Awesome. Ever since Tudor Cast became sadly irregular, I've had too little British history in my life.

    If you need something beautifully researched and wonderfully written, and if you think the women are underrepresented as primary movers in SFF and perhaps are guilty of not writing women very much yourself (*cough*), and if you, perhaps wanted to look at how a master works her all-female cast, then it's likely that you'll like this book. Heck, you might even like all of Greggory's books. And you might be wondering if the library has any of them in right now. Just sayin'.
