Craig Shaw Gardner

Craig Shaw Gardner has written bunches of books, beginning with a number of funny fantasies with names like A MALADY OF MAGICKS, SLAVES OF THE VOLCANO GOD, and THE OTHER SINBAD. His somewhat more serious books include the Dragon Circle (beginning with DRAGON SLEEPING) and the Changeling Saga (starting with THE CHANGELING WAR). He has also collected a bunch of his horror stories into a book called A COLD WIND IN JULY.

Craig is slowly but surely releasing all his old titles as e-books. He also has a new, exclusive-to-e-book series, TEMPORARY MAGIC, about the temporary employment agency that secretly controls the world. We're back in funny fantasy territory here, with books featuring ghosts, vampires, a werevole, and a somewhat annoying pooka named Bob the horse. Titles in this series include TEMPORARY MONSTERS, TEMPORARY HAUNTINGS and TEMPORARY HUMAN.

Craig has also done a whole bunch of media tie-in projects over the years, the most popular of which was the New York Times bestselling novelization of BATMAN (the Tim Burton version). As a part of this project, Craig actually got to walk around Gotham City (or at least the set at the movie studio.) Alas, they would not let him sit in the Batmobile.
