Kage Baker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kage Baker (born June 10, 1952) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer.
She was born in Hollywood, California and has lived there and in Pismo Beach most of her life. Before becoming a professional writer she spent many years in theater, including teaching Elizabethan English as a second language.
She is best known for her "Company" series of historical time travel science fiction. Her first stories were published in Asimov's Science Fiction in 1997, and her first novel, In The Garden of Iden, by Hodder & Stoughton in the same year. Other notable works include Mendoza in Hollywood (novel, 2000) and "The Empress of Mars" (novella, 2003), which was nominated for a Hugo Award.
Her unusual first name (pronounced like the word "cage") is a portmanteau of the names of her two grandmothers, Kate and Genevieve.
