She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"In this sequel to Stevermer's charming fantasy of manners, "A
College of Magics," set in an alternate Edwardian age, the
descriptions of life at Glasscastle University, together with the
sheer zest of the characters for magic, truth and fashion, make
this a sweet, magical romance. This is the perfect read for those
who enjoy taking ambling walks in orderly alternate worlds where
calling cards and starched collars still help make a
man."--"Publishers Weekly" on "A Scholar of Magics"
"The sequel to "A College of Magics" takes place in the same
magical, Victorian-Edwardian Britain, and shows yet again that
Stevermer is a worthy follower of Jane Austen for wit, of Dorothy
Sayers for suspense and erudition. This emerging series will likely
draw readers from across a very wide spectrum of the fantasy and
alternate history audiences, including--indeed, never
forgetting--the adult readership for the adventures of the boy
named Harry."--"Booklist "on "A Scholar of Magics

"One of the best fantasies I've read of the 2004 crop. A
wonderfully conceived and described setting, likable characters,
worthy villains, a reasonable mystery, and delightful
writing."--"Chronicle" on "A Scholar of Magics"
