Jim C. Hines has been a paid juggler, earned a black belt in two different martial arts, performed yo-yo tricks at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and lived with a brain-damaged squirrel. (Only three of those are true.) One of his earliest stories earned first place in the Writers of the Future contest. He’s published more than forty short stories as well as numerous fantasy novels, including the humorous Jig the Dragonslayer trilogy, the Princess series, which re-imagines traditional fairy-tale princesses as butt-kicking action heroines, and the Magic Ex Libris series, about a centuries-old secret society dedicated to the use and control of book magic. In 2012, he won the Hugo for Best Fan Writer. Jim lives in Michigan with his wife, two children, and an unstable number of pets. He can be found online at www.jimchines.com.
"Part farce, part parody, Hines' rip-roaring narrative has us
cheering the highly sympathetic Jig on to
victory." —Booklist
"The characterizations are wonderful. Hines is a phenomenal
worldbuilder...not only inventive and funny, his people and his
world are convincing. That's magic of the most powerful king." —SF
Site
"The mixture of heroism and buffoonery put the Goblin series into a
fantasy class of its own." —SF Revu
