Rie Sheridan Rose multitasks. A lot. Her short stories appear in numerous anthologies, including Killing It Softly I and II, On Fire, and Hides the Dark Tower. She has authored twelve novels, six poetry chapbooks, and lyrics for dozens of songs. Most of her lyrics were written for Marc Gunn and can be found on "Don't Go Drinking with Hobbits," "Pirates vs. Dragons," and "As Long as I'm Flyin'" for the most part--with a few scattered exceptions.

Her favorite work to date is The Conn-Mann Chronicles Steampunk series with five books released so far: The Marvelous Mechanical Man, The Nearly Notorious Nun, and The Incredibly Irritating Irishman, The Fiercely Formidable Fugitive, and The Elderly Earl's Estate. Book Six, The Grieving Groom's Gambit, is in the queue, but other cool things are coming before that! (Like the first book in a spin-off series.)
