Biography
| Lucy Sussex was born in New Zealand in 1957. She has degrees in
English and Librarianship from Monash University, and is a freelance
researcher, editor and writer. She has published widely, writing
anything from literary criticism to horror and detective stories. In
addition she is a literary archaeologist, rediscovering and republishing
the nineteenth-century Australian crime writers Mary Fortune and Ellen
Davitt. Her short story, `My Lady Tongue' won a Ditmar (Australian
Science Fiction Achievement Award) in 1988. In 1994 she was a judge for
the international Tiptree award, which honours speculative fiction
exploring notions of gender. Her first adult novel, The Scarlet Rider,
is about biography, Victorian detective fiction, voodoo and a ghost. A bio written by Bruce Gillespie can be read here.
