Will Shetterly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Will Shetterly (born 1955) is an American fantasy and comic book writer whose best-known novel is Dogland (1997), which was based on his childhood, when his parents owned a tourist attraction called Dog Land. He has participated in Terri Windling's The Borderland Series shared universe, the setting of his novels Nevernever (1993) and Elsewhere (1991), for which he won the Minnesota Book Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy. He has also written short stories for various Borderland anthologies.
With his wife Emma Bull, he created and edited the Liavek shared universe anthologies. There are five Liavek books extant.
Bull and Shetterly live in Arizona.
Shetterly created the comic book character Captain Confederacy, played a small role in the film Toxic Zombies, and ran for governor of Minnesota in 1994 on the Grassroots Party ticket. He placed third out of six candidates.
He was a member of the writing group The Scribblies, which included Emma Bull, Pamela Dean, Kara Dalkey, Nate Bucklin, Patricia Wrede and Steven Brust.
He is also the co-creator of the secular holiday of "Krismas", which he came up with a few weeks earlier than Jacob Walker.[1]
This year he and Bull will go on a signing tour across the U.S. starting in July 2007.[2][3] Bull refers to it as "The Book Signing Tour of the West: Finalized!"[4]
