Doris Egan was on the writing staffs of Profiler and Early Edition, and wrote an episode of So Weird. She started her career as a novelist and short story writer, and is the author of the Ivory series (The Gate of Ivory, Two Bit Heroes, and Guilt-Edged Ivory), which straddled the line between science fiction and fantasy. Writing as Jane Emerson, she is also the author of City of Diamond, a space opera heavily influenced by Robert Heinlein and Jane Austen. Under both handles, she's written a number of short stories and novelettes, including The New Tiresias in The Horns of Elfland, We Met Upon the Road in Highwaymen: Robbers and Rogues, and The Sweet of Bitter Bark and Burning Clove, a nominee for the International Horror Critics Award, in Sirens and Other Daemon Lovers. Her first story, Timerider was chosen for the annual World's Best Science Fiction anthology.
