Kit Reed has published some 20 novels and dozens of short stories. If there is such a thing as a slipstream, she slips in and out of it, in genre-bending novels and stories of all kinds. She just writes them and waits to see which editors like what she does. She says, "You go where they'll take you," which includes the Norton Anthology of Contemporary Literature and The Yale Review, so who's to say? There's a link to a pretty complete bibliography on her page with more on her new novel, at [2]www.kitreed.net Her newest novel, The Baby Merchant , a near-future thriller about a Robin Hood who steals babies, is just out from Tor. Last year her SF novel Thinner Than Thou (Tor), 2004, was given an A.L.A. Alex award. Her first novel for Tom Doherty Associates was @expectations (Forge 2000).

Along with Dogs of Truth, (Tor, 2005), her most recent collection, Thinner Than Thou is now available in trade paperback. A horror novel, Bronze, came out in November, 2005 from Nightshade Books, and a signed limited edition is out there somewhere too. Her last short story for the late SciFiction was "Song of the Black Dog" (sciFiction at scifi.com). It appeared last year. Forthcoming short stories include "Freezing Geezers" in the special anniversary issue of the review, Gargoyle, out some time this summer, and "Biodad," scheduled for the October issue of Asimov's SF. She has another novel in the works. Details? Too soon to tell.

Reed's other novels include Captain Grownup, Fort Privilege, Catholic Girls, J. Eden, and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse. As Kit Craig she is the author of Gone, Twice Burned, and other psychological thrillers published here and in the UK. A Guggenheim fellow, she is the first American recipient of an international literary grant from the Abraham Woursell Foundation. Her hundred-plus short stories have appeared in, among others, The Yale Review, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Omni, Asimov's SF and The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Literature. Her books Weird Women, Wired Women, and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse were finalists for the Tiptree Prize. Of the short fiction, The New York Times Book Review says, "Most of these stories shine with the incisive edginess of brilliant cartoons… they are less fantastic than visionary."

Her reviews of mainstream fiction have appeared in Washington Post Book World, The New York Times Book Review, The Hartford Courant and The St. Petersburg Times. In other news, she runs an online fiction workshop for Wesleyan students at StoryMOO, and she serves on the board of the Authors League Fund. The current Scotties are Tig and Bridey, a.k.a. MacBride of Frankenstein.
