She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. Leckie earned a degree in music from Washington University in 1989. She has since held various jobs, including as a waitress, a receptionist, a land surveyor, a lunch lady, and a recording engineer. She is married to David Harre, with whom she has a son and daughter, and lives with her family in St. Louis, Missouri. She has indicated that she was always a fan of science fiction and had made some early attempts to get some of her science fiction works published without success. She gave birth to her children in 1996 and 2000 and, bored as a stay-at-home mother, she became motivated to sketch a first draft of what would become ANCILLARY JUSTICE for National Novel Writing Month 2002. In 2005 she attended the famous Clarion West Writers Workshop, where she studied under the legendary Octavia Butler. After that, she wrote ANCILLARY JUSTICE over a period of six years. It was picked up by the publisher Orbit in 2012 and was published in 2013. ANCILLARY JUSTICE (and the two sequels to ANCILLARY JUSTICE, [ANCILLARY SWORD and ANCILLARY MERCY] were published by Subterranean Press in signed, numbered, limited hardcover editions after the original trade paperback editions of the trilogy were published). She has also published a number of short stories in such outlets as Subterranean Magazine, Strange Horizons, and Realms of Fantasy. She has also edited the online magazine, Gigantosaurus from 2010 to 2013. She served as the secretary of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America from 2012 to 2013. She is the author of such great and famous books as ANCILLARY JUSTICE (offered here), ANCILLARY SWORD, ANCILLARY MERCY, PROVENANCE, and THE RAVEN TOWER, with more novels to come.

Clarke Awards.______________________________________________________________________ From the dust jacket flap: " . . . ANCILLARY JUSTICE . . . ANN LECKIE . . . ON A remote, icy planet, the soldier know as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest . . . Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was Justice of Toren -- a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy . . . An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose -- to revenge herself on Anander Miannaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch . . . " From the rear panel of the dust jacket: "Powerful." -- The New York Times "Using the format of SF military adventure blended with hints of space opera, Lockie explores the expanded meaning of human nature and the uneasy balance between indi- viduality and membership in a group identity. Leckie is a newcomer to watch as she expands on the history and future of her new and exciting universe." -- Library Journal "ANCILLARY JUSTICE is the mind-blowing space opera you've been needing . . . This is a novel that will thrill you like the page-turner it is, but stick with you for a long time afterward." -- io9.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I grade books and dust jackets: fine, near fine, very good, good, fair, and poor. I describe all faults. If you sell books on EBAY (or anywhere else), it is de rigueur not to list 1st printings of book club books as 1st editions (unless they ARE the 1st edition, which occurs only occasionally); also, a 1st edition, 7th printing, is not a 1st edition. Ex-library books must be noted as such since generally they are of little value to the collector of 1st editions. Condition is also very important to those collectors. Books and dust jackets must be described in detail. In other words, it is incumbent upon the SELLER to know what is and is not a 1st edition. Mistakes can be made (and corrected), of course, but if you DON'T KNOW, don't try to sell a book as a 1st edition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONDITION: A FINE book in a FINE dust jacket. The book is tight and square in its dark gray full-cloth binding with bright blue lettering on the spine of the book. The book has the correct light blue endpapers. There is no writing in the book (except for Ann Leckie's signature); no bookplates; no remainder marks. The dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows the correct 1st issue price of $50.00. There are no chips or tears or wrinkles to the dust jacket. This is an unread (and very tight) copy of this book. I bought this book when it was brand new, I put a Brodart dust jacket protector on it, and I placed it carefully on one of my bookshelves. The fantastic dust jacket artwork is by the excellent artist Lauren Saint-Onge. The signed, numbered, limited hardcover edition of ANCILLARY JUSTICE is long out of print from Subterranean Press. This is the first hardcover edition of ANCILLARY JUSTICE. This is a signed, numbered, limited edition: #43/500. A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR OF IMPORTANT SCIENCE FICTION 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF AWARD-WINNING SCIENCE FICTION 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF ANN LECKIE 1st EDITIONS! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional photos are available upon request. I am continuing to list some of my best books (especially science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions) on EBAY not so much as auctions (due to the fact that EBAY charges quite a bit to list items for reserve auctions), but more along the lines of listing my "catalogue" of books that I have for sale. I'm not going to "give" these books away, but my opening bids and Buy-It-Now prices are usually a fair amount below market value. Furthermore, however, for certain scarce books in great condition, I do expect to get close to what they're worth. Stay with me; I always have a number of important, collectible, cornerstone science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions listed. Many thanks! Contact me if you're looking for a particular title or titles. I have thousands of books for sale that may or may not show up in my EBAY listings. I am happy to set up flexible PAYMENT and/or HOLD PLANS for any book(s) that you bid on and win. Shipping: $4.00 for USPS Media Mail shipping. $10.00 for USPS Priority Mail shipping. I will always combine shipping charges if you obtain two or more of my items. Buyers who wish to have packages sent to addresses outside of the U.S. are required to pay for the postage necessary to send such packages. Please note: if you want something other than USPS Media Mail shipping, you must wait for me to send you an EBAY invoice or if you are a buyer outside of the United States, you must wait for me to send you an EBAY invoice. You must be willing to pay for non-USPS Media Mail shipping charges or for international shipping charges. I reserve the right to negate a purchase if you are unwilling to pay for the correct shipping charges either to an address in the U.S. or if international shipping is required. I am happy to set up flexible payment and layaway plans if these options make it easier for you to participate in bidding and winning. Please e-mail me if you have any questions. See my other auctions on EBAY for excellent science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions (and a few other items). I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions: award winners, cornerstone books, and generally recognized important books in the genre(s). I GUARANTEE THE CONDITION OF THIS BOOK; IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SEND IT BACK! If you prefer payment methods other than PayPal (as I do), I am happy to arrange for a different payment method for you. Before you buy from others, check out their return policies and their guarantees and compare them to mine. I stand behind all of my items FULLY. Why deal with a seller who won't guarantee their books, doesn't have a return policy, or doesn't correctly describe the edition or condition of their book(s)?
