About the Author

George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on "The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, " and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid '90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.
Lisa Tuttle was born and raised in Houston, Texas, won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1974, and now lives with her husband and daughter on the west coast of Scotland. Her first novel, Windhaven, was written with George R. R. Martin. Other novels include "Lost Futures, " which was short-listed for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, The Pillow Friend, and The Mysteries.

Reviews

"A powerful flight of the imagination ... wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence."--Roger Zelazny

"Told with a true storyteller's voice: clear, singing, persuasive, and wonderfully moving. They have made a mythic land and peopled it with unforgettable characters. It is a book for adults and children who have dreamed of flying with their own wings, and for story listeners of all ages for whom dreams are as potent as realities. A truly wonderful book."--Jane Yolen

"It's a romance. It's science fantasy. It's beautiful."--A.E. van Vogt

"The pace never slackens, shifting easily from moments of almost unbearable tension to others of sheer poetry and exhilaration. Martin and Tuttle make wonderful professional music together."--"Fort Worth Star-Telegram"

" Rivals T. H. White's The Once and Future King." -- "Des Moines Register"
For Lisa Tuttle's The Pillow Friend:
" A disturbing novel about dreams and wishes, a nightmarish distaff monkey's paw of a book that it's impossible to forget. Lisa Tuttle remains our preeminent chronicler of family madness and desire." -- Neil Gaiman
" Stunning. This novel shows us thatwhat we hide from ourselves, and what we make up, may be more real than reality itself." -- "Library Journal"
Lost Futures:
" Lisa Tuttle's best fiction is like a slow settling of vast planes of thought and emotion-- luminous, quiet, wry and often bitter. The edges almost always admit other worlds, sometimes horrific, whose full import may be revealed, fully and skillfully, in a single, telling line." -- Kathleen Ann Goonan, "The New York Review of Science Fiction"
