Katherine Kurtz
Katherine Irene Kurtz is an American fantasy writer, known for her sixteen historical fantasy novels in the ''Deryni'' series. She also wrote several occult alternate history novels in her ''Templar'' series, and urban fantasy novels in her ''Adept'' series.
Her 1970 debut novel, ''Deryni Rising'', was influential for being one of the first fantasy novels written in a mode closer to historical fiction than to mythology or legend, as was common in the then-popular high fantasy works such as those by J. R. R. Tolkien. Writing in ''Strange Horizons'', Kari Sperring calls Kurtz the "first writer of secondary-world historical fantasy", noting her close attention to the importance of faith in pre-modern societies and her portrayal of magic as a formal, ritual practice as opposed to the "picaresque and informal" way magic was depicted in other fantasy of the time.〔
==Personal life==
Kurtz was born October 18, 1944 in Coral Gables, Florida, where she also grew up. She graduated with a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Miami. She married Scott MacMillan in 1983 and has a son with him. Until 2007, they lived in Ireland, and since then again in the United States, in Virginia.
