Seanan McGuire (pronounced SHAWN-in;[1] born January 5, 1978) is an American author and filker. McGuire is known for her urban fantasy novels. She uses the pseudonymMira Grant to write science fiction/horror and the pseudonym A. Deborah Baker to write the "Up-and-Under" children's portal fantasy series.

She writes numerous queer characters into her work.
Early life and education
McGuire was born on January 5, 1978, in Martinez, California.[2] McGuire has stated that her mother, Micki McGuire,[3] had "primary custody, two other children, no money, and an abusive husband who targeted [Seanan]".[4] During the summer, McGuire traveled with her father,[5] a carnival worker of Romani origin,[6] an experience she described as "Bradbury-esque running wild and unfettered through farmers' fields, building Ferris wheels and living on funnel cake."[7]
Before becoming a full-time writer, McGuire worked at a reptile rescue organization.[9]
McGuire has published filk music, poetry, short fiction, essays, and novels. Most follow speculative fiction themes of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Her earliest publication was a contribution to the June 2002 poetry anthology Speculon.[10] She produced the musical album Pretty Little Dead Girl in 2006[11] and published her first short story in The Edge of Propinquity in 2008.[10] In 2009, she published her first novel, Rosemary and Rue, which has resulted in her longest-running series, with the 18th book, The Innocent Sleep, published in 2023.
In 2010, she published Feed under the pseudonym Mira Grant. This established Seanan McGuire as an urban fantasy writer and her pseudonym Mira Grant as a horror/science fiction writer.[12]
In 2018, McGuire began writing for Marvel Comics. She wrote two Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider series from 2018-2020 and has contributed to several other franchises.
She has self-published hundreds of short stories. From 2008 to 2017, she posted installments of the Velveteen series to LiveJournal with the support of fan sponsorships.[15] Tie-ins to her October Daye and InCryptid series are available for free on her website. In 2016, she launched a Patreon account to post monthly short stories for her subscribers.
In 2010, Feed was recognized as #74 out of the 100 top thriller novels of all time by NPR.[18] It was also recognized as a Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2010.[19]
In 2012, McGuire (as Mira Grant) was inducted in to the Darrell Awards Hall of Fame for the best American Mid-South regional speculative fiction.[20]

Movement of charge carriers with negligible scattering In mesoscopic physics, ballistic conduction (ballistic transport) is the unimpeded flow (or transport) of charge carriers (usually electrons), or energy-carrying particles, over relatively long distances in a material. In general, the resistivity of a material exists because an electron, while moving inside a medium, is scattered by impurities, defects, thermal fluctuations of ions in a crystalline solid, or, generally, by any freely-movi...
