Jane Lindskold

Jane M. Lindskold is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels.

Jane M. Lindskold was born in 1962, at the Columbia Hospital for Women. She is the first of four siblings: Ann M. Lindskold Nalley, Graydon M. Lindskold, and Susan M. Lindskold Speer. Lindskold's father, John E. Lindskold, was head of the Land and Natural Resources Division, Western Division of the United States Justice Department. Her mother, Barbara DiSalle Lindskold, was also an attorney. Jane M. Lindskold grew up in Washington, D.C. and Chesapeake Bay. She attended elementary school primarily at Holy Trinity Elementary School in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., and attended high school at Immaculata Preparatory School. She studied at Fordham, where she received a Ph. D. in English, concentrating on Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern British Literature. Lindskold was a superior student and successfully defended her Ph.D. on her 26th birthday. Mentored by her friend, Roger Zelazny, she started publishing stories in 1992, and she published her first novel, "Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls" in December, 1994. In her "Athanor" series, she writes about the creatures of legend — shape-shifters, satyrs, merfolk, and unicorns — who have sworn to keep their existence hidden from a human race prone to kill what it does not understand. In her "Firekeeper Saga", she writes about a woman who discovers that politics among the wolves she was raised by and politics among human royalty are not so different.

Lindskold lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband, archaeologist Jim Moore.
