Item Description

Tuckerization in a Victorian thriller in the Marian Halcombe series by Brenda W. Clough. Now's your chance to be spontaneously combusted in Dickensian circumstances, or to leap from a pirate vessel to another ship at 4 a.m. in the North Sea.

Brenda W. Clough spent much of her childhood overseas, courtesy of the U.S. government. She has lived in Laos, the Philippines, and Europe, and spent many years near Washington, DC. Her first fantasy novel, The Crystal Crown, was published by DAW in 1984. Her novel How Like a God, now available from Book View Cafe, was published by Tor Books in 1997. Her novella May Be Some Time was a finalist for both the Hugo and Nebula Award.

Item Special Note

A tuckerization is when an author inserts someone's real name into their story or book as a minor character. For the SFWA Auction, tuckerizations can consist of any person's name but not a business name. In addition, the winning bidder can not request the insertion of offensive or libelous names or words.
