Holly Wade Matter: As the self-appointed Gladys Kravitz of neighborhood history, Holly Wade Matter is obsessed with peering through the Venetian blinds of time to see what those people were up to.

Not that it has anything to do with the price of eggs and/or historical research, but it may lend her an air of moderate respectability: her short fiction has appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, Century, and the fantasy and horror volumes of the Bending the Landscape anthology series. She was a 2-time recipent of literary funding from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, and in 1998 received a creative writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Her other passions include hiking, knitting, house rabbits, ball-jointed dolls, incredible nosiness, and writing about herself in the third person.
