   Elaine Cunningham's Blurbs
About me:
I live in a fantasy world. Several of them, in fact. For about fifteen years now, I've been wandering around in the Forgotten Realms. These travels have been chronicled in a dozen or so novels. I spent several months in a galaxy far, far away while writing Dark Journey, the tenth book in the New Jedi Order series of Star Wars books. Recently I made a foray into Norrath, the setting of the EverQuest game, to write The Blood Red Harp, a fantasy adventure story filled with elves, necromancers, music and mayhem. A dark fantasy version of Providence, Rhode Island is the setting for my Changeling Detective series: Shadows in the Darkness and Shadows in the Starlight. My short stories range from historical to mysteries, ghost stories to Arthurian fantasy. Yeah, I'm indecisive--it's a character flaw. Here's a SLIDE SHOW of some of my book covers: ..
Who I'd like to meet:
Who would I like to meet on MySpace? Fellow readers, mostly, particularly those who read fantasy, mystery, paranormal, and historical fiction. Who would I like to meet at various and sundry points along the space/time continuum? Lilith, the first wife of Adam (yep, Eve was a trophy wife) who went on to become a demon and succubus. You've gotta admit that's a pretty impressive second career. Taliesin, the famous bard whom Arthurian legend (sometimes) considers the father of Merlin. O'Carolan, the blind harper who created some of the most beautiful melodies in Ireland's history. Elizabeth I. James VI of Scotland. The whole gamut of Renaissance scientists and mystics--Tycho Brahe, Parcelus, John Dee, Cornelius Agrippa. Jumping ahead a few years, there's Oscar Wilde, and a few more, Dorothy Parker. I'd love to meet all these people--but not all at the same time. Mrs. Parker would probably make a smartass remark about Lilith, and that could go wrong in more ways than I care to contemplate.

Thanks for the add. I have to tell you that my mother turned me on to your books and then, talking with a doctor friend of mine, I found out that he is also following the "Forgotten Realms" through Salvatore and will now be reading your books. I really do love your work and hope to read everything you have published. Have a blessed Beltaine/May Day

Thank you for the info!

Like you, I started to pick up the pen and write stories of my own too, when I can, based on years of Dungeons and Dragons campaigns that were inspired by the scenarios surrounding Liriel, Fyodor, the Jordain, and many others.

I and my group are and always will be, a big fan of your handiwork.

Prosperity and goodwill to you and your family,

Mike (Darkfather)

I'm not to worried. If I were you I would just bake a pie and not worry about anyone else. Besides, I think you're leaps and bounds ahead of my parents and most of my other relatives. Most of them still don't grasp the whole internet thing, and also still use dial-up. You've got yourself quite a collection of books. I love mentioning to my friends that my aunt writes Star Wars books. I mention the other series to, but most of them don't quite know what I'm talking about.
