Will Shetterly

Biography

I wrote the 2008 World Fantasy Award finalist for best novel, The Secret Academy, and other books. I think my best stories include Elsewhere and Dogland, which Ellen Kushner of public radio's Sound & Spirit on Dogland called, "A masterwork. A particularly American magic realism that touches the heart of race and childhood in our country; it's 100 Years of Solitude for an entire generation of American Baby Boomers, and deserves the widest possible audience."
