Lara Campbell McGehee

Lara Campbell McGehee writes social science fiction and fantasy of the kind that is often called 'literary cross-over'. The authors who have influenced and inspired her the most include Ursula K. Le Guin, Gene Wolfe, Vonda N. McIntyre, Richard Adams, and, of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.

A native of Arizona, she's an avid equestrian and passionate about the outdoors, especially the wide open landscapes of the Southwest, and her favorite places often find their way into the otherworldly settings of her stories.

Her short fiction has appeared in Straeon and LC-39, and she blogs about the writing craft and about speculative fiction on her website, www.lcmcgehee.com.
