Author of sixty novels, Ardath Mayhar began her career in the early eighties with science fiction novels, fantasy, and westerns. Doubleday, Atheneum, Zebra, and TSR published many of these. She used several pseudonyms, westerns written as Frank Cannon, mountain man novels written as John Killdeer, and a historical novel as Frances Hurst. Four prehistoric Indian books under her own name came out from Berkley, one of which has been reprinted by The Fiction Works.

Ardath Mayhar recommends
The Furnace (2011)
(Tanner Sequence, book 1)
Timothy S Johnston
"Great tension, powerful characterization, and gripping action ... The Furnace is an old-style looked-room mystery updated as horror SF. Completely original and compelling. A must read."
Ewerton Death Trip (2011)
A R Morlan
"The horror she evokes is not so much occult as uniquely human. The worst of human traits are her stock in trade. The hints of otherworldly elements are used in just the right proportions to make one shiver."
Wings of Power (1989)
(Sabazel, book 4)
Lillian Stewart Carl
"an intense tale...a complex and fascinating plot..."
