About the Author
Cherie Priest is the author of two dozen books and novellas, most recently The Drowning House and It Was Her House First. She also wrote gothic horror projects The Toll, The Family Plot, and the Philip K. Dick Award nominee Maplecroft; but she is perhaps best known for the steampunk pulp adventures of the Clockwork Century, beginning with Boneshaker. Her works have been nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards for science fiction and have won the Locus Award (among others)―and over the years, they’ve been translated into nine languages in eleven countries. Cherie lives in Seattle, WA, with a menagerie of exceedingly photogenic animals.
