Welcome to the website for Barbara ML Gordon.

I'm a mostly unpublished writer of fantasy, with forays into mystery and sf.

In 2006 I attended the Viable Paradise writers' workshop. If you want to write sf or fantasy, there's nothing better.
For workshops that don't require travel or taking time off, try the Online Writing Workshop, Critters, or Absolute Write.


My first published short story, The King of Elfland's Stepdaughter, can be read at Coyote Wild. Three Coyote Wild stories received honourable mentions in The Year's Best Science Fiction for 2007:
The Ladies, by Elizabeth Bear
Marsdog, by Beth Bernobich
The King of Elfland's Stepdaughter, by Barbara Gordon

My first professional sale, On the Transmontane Run with the Aerial Mail Express, can be read here at Beneath Ceaseless Skies.

My first novel, The Willow Knot, a retelling of Grimm tale 11, after much revision under my agent's guidance, is somewhere on the desks of various editors.
My next novel is The Cost of Silver, a dark fantasy set in Stuart England.


NEWS:  For the third time, I've received an Honourable Mention in the 3-Day Novel Contest, this year for Archipelago. Previous shortlisted were Culture Heroes and Fold.

After my short story "Foretold" won the 2009 Rannu Fund prize for fiction, I was honoured to be one of the fiction judges for the 2010 contest.
