Mary H. Schaub

Mary H. Schaub (1943–2009) was an American writer best known for her contributions to Andre Norton's Witch World series. She collaborated directly with Norton on Flight of Vengeance (1992), part of the Witch World: The Turning sequence, and on The Magestone (1996) for the Witch World Secrets line, extending Norton's long-running fantasy world with new characters and storylines set within its magic-suffused realms of Estcarp and High Hallack. Schaub also contributed to the Ithkar shared-world anthology series, co-edited by Norton, which gathered short fantasy fiction set around a recurring magical fairground. Born in Apex, North Carolina, Schaub worked mostly within collaborative and shared-world fantasy projects rather than publishing extensively under her own original series.
