Kara Dalkey

Kara Dalkey made her way from Los Angeles to Minneapolis where she was one of the founders in 1980 of the Scribblies writers group (OryCon 13 GOHs Emma Bull and Will Shetterly, Pamela Dean, Steven Brust, et al). Her first published genre work was "The Hands of the Artist" in the delightful Liavek shared-world anthology series in 1985 (strangely enough the same year John's first story "Finalities Beside the Grave" was published in Amazing).

Kara's focus has been fantasy including the YA pair set in 11th century Japan, Little Sister and The Heavenward Path; the Blood of the Goddess trilogy in 16th century India; The Nightingale, one of Terri Windling's Fairy Tale series; and the recent contemporary fantasies Steel Rose and Crystal Sage, set respectively in Pittsburgh and Colorado.
