(1952-    ) US writer who began publishing work of genre interest with "Bad Blood" in Werewolves (anth 1988) ed Jane Yolen and Martin H Greenberg, which she later expanded into a novel (see below). All her books have been written in what seems an equal partnership with James D(ouglas) Macdonald (1954-    ). They first came to notice with the Circle of Magic sequence – School of Wizardry (1990), Tournament and Tower (1990), City by the Sea (1990), The Prince's Players (1990), The Prisoners of Bell Castle (1990) and The High King's Daughter (1990) – which tells of a young Wizard in easy language. Knight's Wyrd (1992) presents the adventures of a young Knight doomed (he fears) to an early death; he meets various supernatural creatures. Bad Blood (1993) and Hunter's Moon (1994) make up a children's series about Werewolves and Vampires. [JC]
