Celia S. Friedman (born January 12, 1957) is a writer of science fiction and fantasy.

Friedman writes epic science fiction and fantasy novels which feature complex interweavings of plot and richly detailed settings. To date she has published eight novels, several short stories, and a sourcebook for White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game. Originally a costume designer by trade, Friedman began her publishing career in 1986, and quit costuming in 1996 to write full-time. She was nominated for the John Campbell award in 1986, and her novel This Alien Shore was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

Though her books often center on traditional fantasy themes like magic, vampires, and telepathy, Friedman prides herself on providing the kind of detail and consistency that makes the imaginary seem real. She rejects traditional Fantasy's clearly delineated dichotomy between good and evil, preferring to explore the uncertain and often uncomfortable grey zone between the two. Her work is often dark, and some of her most compelling characters are also her most disturbing.

Friedman's newest works include the novel Legacy of Kings (Sept 2011), and Dominion, a new novella in her Coldfire universe, to be published in electronic format. Details can be found on the author's homepage along with more personal information and a FAQ.[1] Readers can chat with her and get previews and breaking news at her official Facebook page.
