Biography

Priest is a Florida native, born in Tampa in 1975.[1] She graduated from Forest Lake Academy in Apopka, Florida in 1993. She moved around quite a bit as a child of an Army father, living in many places such as Florida, Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. She moved around regularly until college. In 2001 she left the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with an M.A. in Rhetoric/Professional writing,[1] and in 1998 she graduated with a B.A. from Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tennessee.[1] Priest lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee for twelve years and it is there she both set her Eden Moore series and wrote the first two books.[citation needed] She currently resides in Seattle, Washington with her husband and her cat.[1]

Although Priest was raised Seventh-day Adventist, she has no further contact with the church and claims no religious affiliation.[citation needed]

In addition to her novels, Priest was a reviewer for the Bram Stoker Award-winning website Chiaroscuro and currently is a staff member of Subterranean Press. She is a regular attendee and panelist at DragonCon and several other genre conventions around the country such as Penguicon and Steamcon. She is also known for giving talks and writing articles about the hobby of urban exploration.[citation needed]

Style

Priest's published writing style thus far falls into the Southern Gothic genre as well as the Horror genre. She has also written a number of short stories, most of which can be categorized as Horror or Science fiction. Priest has expanded her style to include the burgeoning genre of Steampunk which can be best described as a fantastical alternate history or Neo-Victorian often involving modern technology powered by nineteenth century means. Priest has developed a large fan following.[citation needed]

Awards

  • In March 2006, she won the Lulu Blooker Prize for Fiction for Four and Twenty Blackbirds, becoming the first ever winner in that category.[2]
