Greer Gilman’s new book, the second in her Ashes cycle, is complete. Set in the mythscape of Moonwise (1991, Roc), her first novel, it is a triptych of variations on a winter’s tale. Two stories from the cycle have appeared. Her novella “A Crowd of Bone” won a World Fantasy Award in 2004. It was published in Trampoline (2003, Small Beer Press). “Jack Daw’s Pack” came out in Century (Winter 2000), and was a Nebula finalist for 2001. It has been reprinted in Jay Lake’s anthology, TEL: Stories (2005, Wheatland Press), and in the 14th Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror.
Moonwise has reappeared in hardcover (2005, Prime Books). It won the Crawford Award and was shortlisted for the Tiptree and Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards.
“Down the Wall,” a Cloudish story, appeared in the Datlow and Windling anthology Salon Fantastique (2006, Thunder’s Mouth Press).
Her poem “She Undoes” from The Faces of Fantasy (1996, Tor) has been reprinted in Women of Other Worlds (1999, University of Western Australia Press), and in Jabberwocky (2005, Prime Books).
In 2008, Ms. Gilman will be the Special Guest Writer at the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts. Last year, she gave a paper on “Shakespearean Voices in the Literature of the Fantastic” to the Shakespeare Association of America. She was a John W. Campbell finalist for 1992, and a guest speaker at the Art/Sci’98 Symposium held at the Cooper Union in New York. She has been interviewed by Michael Swanwick for Foundation (Autumn 2001), by Sherwood Smith for the SF Site, and by the Harvard University Gazette (Oct. 11, 2001).
