Madeleine Robins has been a nanny, an administrator, an actor, and a swordswoman; has trafficked book production, edited comics, and repaired hurt books. She’s also the author of the New York Times Notable urban fantasy The Stone War; Daredevil: The Cutting Edge; historical novel Sold for Endless Rue; and alt-Regency-noir mysteries Point of Honour, Petty Treason, and The Sleeping Partner. Madeleine lives in San Francisco with a dog, a husband, and a hegemonic lemon tree, works at the American Bookbinders Museum, and, as always, is working on another damned book.
