Steven Erikson
Steven Erikson (born October 7, 1959) is the pseudonym of Steve Rune Lundin, a Canadian novelist, who was educated and trained as both an archaeologist and anthropologist.〔
His best-known work is the ten-volume fantasy series ''Malazan Book of the Fallen'', which by 2012 had sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide.〔Per the cover copy of the paperback edition of ''The Crippled God.''〕 ''SF Site'' has called the series "the most significant work of epic fantasy since Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant," and ''Fantasy Book Review'' described it as "the best fantasy series of recent times." Fellow fantasy author Stephen Donaldson refers to Erikson as "an extraordinary writer".〔 In an interview with ''sffworld.com'', Erikson acknowledged that he originally doubted the series would become "mainstream", and was subsequently surprised at how successful the series has been. He also noted how people "either hate the series or love it".〔
==Biography==
Steven Erikson was born in Toronto, Canada, and grew up in Winnipeg. He subsequently lived in the UK with his wife and son, but has since returned to Winnipeg.〔 He is an anthropologist and archaeologist by training and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. For his thesis at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Erikson wrote a "story cycle" of short stories titled ''A Ruin of Feathers'' about an archaeologist in Central America. Subsequently, Erikson received a grant to finish the work which was published by TSAR, a small Canadian publishing house. For his next work Erikson co-won the Anvil Press International 3-Day Novel Contest for which he signed away the rights, a mistake he attributes to inexperience. Erikson's third book was also published by TSAR, and consisted of a novella and short stories titled ''Revolvo and other Canadian Tales''. Later, upon moving to England, Erikson sold what he refers to as his "first real novel" to Hodder and Stoughton — ''This River Awakens'' — written when he still lived in Winnipeg. The first four books were published under Erikson's real name, and are currently out of print. In addition to writing, Erikson paints using oil paints.〔
