But she is perhaps best known for the steampunk pulp adventures of the Clockwork Century, beginning with\u00a0<i>Boneshaker<\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0<i>Boneshaker<\/i>\u00a0was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award; it was a PNBA Award winner, and winner of the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Cherie also wrote\u00a0<i>Bloodshot<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Hellbent\u00a0<\/i>from Bantam Spectra;\u00a0<i>Fathom<\/i>\u00a0and the Eden Moore series from Tor; and three novellas for Subterranean Press. In addition to all of the above, her first foray into George R. R. Martin\u2019s superhero universe,\u00a0<i>Fort Freak<\/i>\u00a0(for which she wrote the interstitial mystery), debuted in the summer of 2011. Her short stories and nonfiction articles have appeared in such fine publications as\u00a0<i>Weird Tales<\/i>,\u00a0<i>Publishers Weekly<\/i>, and numerous anthologies \u2013 and her books have been translated into nine languages in eleven countries. These days, she lives in a nifty old house in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her husband and a menagerie of exceedingly photogenic pets.<\/p>\n<p>Get into the Halloween spirit by sporting\u00a0a steampunk costume at the event.
