Maggie Furey

Maggie Furey is no stranger to Octocon. Indeed, it is at least partially due to the friendliness of the people at Octocon that herself and her husband Eric (and an indeterminate number of cats) decided to move to Wicklow, in Ireland, permanently. Maggie was born in North East England, though, where she pursued a career as a schoolteacher before coming to her senses, and deciding to write fulltime. Her first fantasy novel, Aurian, was an immediate success, as were the other three volumes of the Artefacts of Power series. In fact, two of these volumes had launches at Octocon, Harp of Winds at Octocon 1994, and Dhiamarra at Octocon 1997. It goes without saying that we are delighted to have Maggie and Eric coming back to see us once again.
