We continue our tradition of an annual family reading for December with one of our favorite families of writers -- Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman.  It's not only a truly festive way to start out the season, but you are assured of hearing great fiction by two exceptional readers .

--
Ellen Kushner’s first novel, Swordspoint, introduced readers to the city to which she has since returned in The Privilege of the Sword (Locus Award & Nebula nominee), The Fall of the Kings (written with Delia Sherman), and a handful of short stories, most recently "The Duke of Riverside" in Ellen Datlow’s Naked Cities.  She has just finished recording the audiobook of Swordspoint for Audible.com/ACX's new "Neil Gaiman Presents" list.  Her second novel, Thomas the Rhymer, won both the Mythopoeic and World Fantasy Awards.  Kushner has taught writing at the Clarion and Odyssey workshops, and is a co-founder of the Interstitial Arts Foundation.  In 2011 she co-edited Welcome to Bordertown with Holly Black.  Kushner is also the longtime host of the public radio show Sound & Spirit.  Kushner lives in New York City with author & editor  Delia Sherman, and no cats whatsoever. Her website can be found at  http://EllenKushner.com 


Delia Sherman writes stories and novels for younger readers and adults. Her most recent short stories have appeared in the young adult anthology Steampunk! and in Ellen Datlow’s Naked City. She's written three novels for adults: Through a Brazen Mirror, The Porcelain Dove, and The Fall of the Kings (with Ellen Kushner). She's now turned her hand to novels for younger readers.  Changeling and The Magic Mirror of the Mermaid Queen are both set in the magical world of New York Between. Her newest novel, The Freedom Maze, is a time-travel historical about ante-bellum Louisiana.  When she’s not writing, Sherman is teaching, editing, knitting, and cooking. When not on the road (one of her favorite places to be), she lives in a rambling apartment in New York City with partner Ellen Kushner and far too many pieces of paper. Her website is at http://DeliaSherman.com
