Selina Rosen lived in semi-rural Arkansas with her partner, her parrot Ricky, assorted fish and fowl—both inside and out, a herd of dairy goats, an undetermined number of barn cats, and her two dogs, Keri and Pete. Besides writing, editing, and taking care of the farm, she’s a gardener, carpenter, rock mason, electrician, NOT a plumber, Torah scholar, and sword fighter. In her spare time she helps raise her grandsons, creates water gardens, builds furniture, and adds to her ongoing creation of the “Great Wall of Kibler”—only one of her constant recycling projects.

Selina’s short fiction has appeared in several magazines and anthologies including Sword and Sorceress, Turn the Other Chick, three of the MZB Fantasy Magazines, Anthology at the End of the Universe, Here Be Dragons (2008 Dragon*Con anthology), Which Way to the Mall, Strip Mauled, Space Sirens, Space Grunts, Wolf Song, Vol I, Haunted Hearths, and Aoife’s Kiss. Her critically acclaimed story entitled “Ritual Evolution” appeared in the first of the newest Thieves World anthologies, Turning Points, and her second TW story, “Gathering Strength,” appeared in the second, Enemies of Fortune. The Bubba Chronicles is a collection of her short fiction that features—strangely enough—bubbas.

Her novels include Queen of Denial, Recycled, the Chains of Freedom trilogy, Strange Robby, The Host trilogy, Fire & Ice, Hammer Town, Reruns, Bad Lands (with Laura J. Underwood), Sword Masters, and Jabone’s Sword. She also has two published novellas, The Boatman and Material Things. Her first play, In Herman’s Garage, premiered to sold-out crowds at the Mulberry Community Theater in Mulberry, Arkansas.

In her capacity as editor-in-chief of Yard Dog Press, Ms. Rosen has edited several anthologies, including the award-winning Bubbas of the Apocalypse, The Four Bubbas of the Apocalypse: Flatulence, Halitosis, Incest and . . . Ned, International House of Bubbas, and two collections of “modern” fairy tales—the Stoker-nominated Stories That Won’t Make Your Parents Hurl and More Stories That Won’t Make Your Parents Hurl.
