N. Lee Wood

N. Lee Wood is the author of Faraday's Orphans and Looking for Mahdi, both published by Gollancz/Vista in 1996. Looking for the Mahdi was selected as a New York Times Notable Book and was also short listed for the Arthur C. Clarke Award. The author's blend of sociology, feminism, and science fiction is reminiscent of such classics as Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, and Sheri S. Tepper's The Gate to Women's Country. She is a frequent visitor to British and European conventions, and travels extensively from her home in Paris.
