Timeline

1823

From a reference to the date being thirty years since the Terror, the novels take place about 1823, during the Regency era in its broader sense; however, the author has personally stated that the events of Magician's Ward take place in 1818.

A trilogy narrated by Eff Rothmer, the "thirteenth child" of the opening book title.

Book One covers her childhood, from the age of five (when her parents move west to the edge of the expanding American frontier) to shortly after her eighteenth birthday.

Books Two and Three deal with an adult Eff's work as an explorer, scientist, and magician beyond the edge of the frontier.

The Seven Towers is a stand-alone fantasy novel.

Snow White and Rose Red is a fairytale fantasy, being a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Snow White and Rose Red" (not "Snow White") set in Elizabethan England, and including elements of the Thomas the Rhymer ballad as well.

1953

Patricia Collins Wrede (born March 27, 1953) is an American author of fantasy literature.

She is known for her Enchanted Forest Chronicles series for young adults, which was voted number 84 in NPR's 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels list.

She was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 27, 1953, to David Merrill and Monica Marie Collins.

She is the eldest of five siblings.

As a child, Wrede was a voracious reader and recalls "I don't think I ever read anything only once."

She loved to tell stories to her family and friends and began writing in the seventh grade with much support from her parents.

1974

Wrede graduated from Carleton College in 1974 with a BA in biology and obtained an MBA from the University of Minnesota in 1977.

1976

Patricia and James Wrede were married in 1976; they divorced in 1991.

She is a vegetarian and lives in the Twin Cities with two cats.

These books are all stand alone stories that are loosely connected and share a common setting on a world named Lyra.

They are listed here in order of publication.

The actual chronological order of the books is Caught in Crystal, The Raven Ring, Shadow Magic, Daughter of Witches, and The Harp of Imach Thyssel.

The last three are set in the same time period but different nations while the first two are spaced widely apart chronologically and happen well before the events of the last three.

A timeline and short world history at the end of Shadows over Lyra ties everything together and answers a lot of questions.

The omnibus edition of Shadow Magic is a revised one; the writing is significantly different from that in the original, and reflects her greater experience as a writer.

It seems that Wrede rewrote the story for the omnibus, but this is not actually noted anywhere in the book itself.

This series features Princess Cimorene, as she becomes a dragon's princess, rescues said dragon, falls in love, and ultimately saves the enchanted forest.

The authors tell these stories from the first-person perspectives of cousins Kate and Cecelia (and, in the third book, two additional characters), who recount their adventures in magic and polite society.

These works are unusual in modern fiction in being epistolary novels, written using the style of the letter game.

"Mairelon" is a gentleman wizard with unusual talents, and Kim is his streetwise protégée.

Together, they foil plots and generally get into trouble.

1978

She finished her first book in 1978 while working as an accountant and financial analyst.

1980

She was a founding member of The Scribblies, along with Pamela Dean, Emma Bull, Will Shetterly, Steven Brust and Nate Bucklin, in January 1980, "to which [she] belonged for five extremely productive years."

She sold her first book to Ace in April 1980 and it was published in 1982.

In the fall of 1980, Wrede met Lillian Stewart Carl, who introduced her to Lois McMaster Bujold.

1985

In 1985, shortly before her fifth book was published, she became a full-time writer.

She is a member of the Liavek shared-world anthology.

2009

In 2009, Wrede donated her archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.

Lois McMaster Bujold credits the support of Wrede and Lillian Stewart Carl for allowing Bujold to finish her first novel: "These friendships were lifelines in every sense".
