Lynn Flewelling

Lynn Flewelling is an American fantasy author, born Lynn Elizabeth Beaulieu in 1958 in Presque Isle, Maine. She is known for the Nightrunner series, seven novels following a bisexual spy and thief and his partner through a richly built secondary world, and for the related Tamir Triad, which explores gender and identity through a princess magically disguised as a boy to survive a succession curse. Her debut, Luck in the Shadows, was a Locus Award pick for best first novel, and later volumes Traitor's Moon and Hidden Warrior were finalists for the Spectrum Award, recognizing science fiction and fantasy that explores gender and sexuality. Before writing full time, Flewelling worked as a teacher, house painter, and necropsy technician; she now teaches creative writing at the University of Redlands. Her novels have been published in thirteen countries.
