Career


Dean has published six novels and a number of short stories. Tam Lin and The Dubious Hills were both nominated for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature, in 1992 and 1995 respectively.

She was a member of the writing group The Scribblies, along with Emma Bull, Will Shetterly, Kara Dalkey, Nate Bucklin, Patricia Wrede and Steven Brust, and was a contributor to the Liavek shared-world anthologies. She is a member of the Pre-Joycean Fellowship.

As of 2012, Dean reports that Going North, the future "joint sequel to The Dubious Hills and The Whim of the Dragon, has been rejected by Viking Press, leaving her to make further revisions and seek alternative methods for publication.[2][3]
