Laura Anne Gilman

I am best-known as a novelist, but my first love was short fiction, and I still continue to work in that form. Why? Because short fiction pushes buttons. It asks “what if?” and then doesn’t always give you the answer. It entertains, yes, but it also opens wounds... or helps heal them. It has the freedom to take risks, dare failure, and fling itself off a cliff to get an idea of what it’s like to fly.

And because, honestly, it’s fun to kick up your heels in the shorter format, every now and again.

Here in Book View Café you’ll eventually find an assortment of my shorter fiction, from flash to novella-length. Hopefully it will give you a hunger, not only for more of my work, but short fiction overall, in every genre.

Obligatory Biographical Information:

Ms. Gilman is a former book editor-turned-writer. She has written the Cosa Nostradamus books for Luna (the “Retrievers” and “Paranormal Scene Investigations” series), and the Nebula-nominated The Vineart War trilogy from Pocket, plus the forthcoming “Portals” duology from Luna.

LAG also writes paranormal romances and mysteries under other names, and isn't quite sure how many short stories she’s had published — more than 30, less than 50 (number subject to increase)

She lives in New York City, where she also runs d.y.m.k. productions, an editorial services company.
