Writer, editor, and activist Lee Martindale has been called “a force of nature” and “Hell on Wheels” for very good reasons.  She's edited a groundbreaking anthology (SUCH A PRETTY FACE), released a CD of original filk music (THE LADIES OF TRADE TOWN) and an audiochapbook CD (TO STAND AS WITNESS: THREE ARTHURIAN TALES). Her recent works include PREJUDICE BY THE POUND, a collection of essays and editorials from ten years of Rump Parliament Magazine, and stories in TURN THE OTHER CHICK, CATOPOLIS, WITCH WAY TO THE MALL, WARRIOR WISEWOMAN 2, and an upcoming vampires-in-the-suburbs anthology from Baen.  She’s also currently reading for THE LADIES OF TRADE TOWN, an anthology of genre stories on “the world’s oldest profession” she’s editing for an April 2011 release from Norilana Books.

When not slinging fiction, Lee is a Named Bard, Lifetime Active Member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a fencing member of the SFWA Musketeers, and a member of the SCA.  She and her husband George live in Plano, TX, where she shares news with friends and fans at HarpHaven.net
