Kit Reed
Bio: Kit Reed's newest novel, Expectations, is about a woman who falls in love in a wild virtual community and follows her lover into real life. Her novels include "Captain Grownup", "Catholic Girls" and "J. Eden". A Guggenheim fellow, she is the first American recipient of an international literary grant from the Abraham Woursell Foundation. She's had stories in, among others, "The Yale Review", "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" and "The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Literature". Both "Weird Women, Wired Women" and "Little Sisters of the Apocalypse", were finalists for the Tiptree Prize. The New York Times Book Review says, "Most of these stories shine with the incisive edginess of brilliant cartoons...they are less fantastic than visionary." As Kit Craig, she is author of several highly acclaimed psychological thrillers, starting with "Gone", which Newsweek calls "A tightly wound psychothriller written with terrifying understatement...riveting and menacing to the last page."
