Seanan McGuire is one of the most prolific voices in dark and urban fantasy. Her  skills extend not just to her successful and popular October Daye series (see review of book 2, A Local Habitation, out March 2, 2010) but also to short stories (many available at her website, www.seananmcguire.com) and her music—McGuire is known for her sultry singing style and horror-tinged lyrics. Soon, she will take on the horror genre with a series about zombies, written under the pen name Mira Grant; the first book is due out [date]. McGuire is always happy to talk about her writing and her thoughts on every subject from influences to yoga. Enjoy the interview, then go out and buy her books—you will not be disappointed.
