In 1996 they startd the occasional zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.Dust jacket and interior illustrations by Kathleen Jennings Grant, run Small Beer Press, co-edit the fantasy half of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and play ping-pong. Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Gavin J. She was born in Miami, Florida, and once won a free trip around the world by answering the question "Why do you want to go through the world?" ("Because you can't go through it.") Her short stories have won three Nebula, a Hugo, and a World Fantasy Award. Kelly Link is the author of three collections of short fiction Stranger Things Happen, Magic for Beginners, and Pretty Monsters. Includes Nebula, World Fantasy, and Tiptree award-winning stories. A Best of the Year pick from, Locus, The Village Voice, and San Francisco Chronicle. They were all especially written for you. The eleven stories in Kelly Link's debut collection are funny, spooky, and smart. "Kelly Link is the exact best and strangest and funniest short story writer on earth that you have never heard of at the exact moment you are reading these words and making them slightly inexact. She is unique, and should be declared a national treasure, and possibly surrounded at all times by a cordon of armed marines." She puts one word after another and makes real magic with them-funny, moving, tender, brave and dangerous. "Kelly Link is probably the best short story writer currently out there, in any genre or none. Kelly Link has strangeness, charm and spin to spare. "A set of stories that are by turns dazzling, funny, scary, and sexy, but only when they're not all of these at once. "Stylistic pyrotechnics light up a bizarre but emotionally truthful landscape. "A tremendously appealing book, and lovers of short fiction should fall over themselves getting out the door to find a copy." Kelly Link's collection of stories, Stranger Things Happen, really scores. "The 11 fantasies in this first collection from rising star Link are so quirky and exuberantly imagined that one is easily distracted from their surprisingly serious underpinnings of private pain and emotional estrangement." "Link uses the nonsensical to illuminate truth, blurring the distinctions between the mundane and the fantastic to tease out the underlying meanings of modern life."- Booklist They are true to themselves: witty, beautiful, funny, and startling."- Rain Taxi "Link's stories defy explanation, or at least, brief summary, instead working on the plane between dream and cognitive dissonance. "My favorite fantasy writer."-Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered "A delightful collection."- Cleveland Plain Dealer
"An alchemical mix of Borges, Raymond Chandler and Buffy the Vampire Slayer."- (Best of the Year)
