'''Esther Friesner''' (also known as Esther M. Friesner) is a fantasy author best known for her humorous works, though she spans the [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]. Friesner was named Outstanding New Fantasy Writer by Romantic Times in 1986. She won the Skylark Award in 1994. She has been nominated a number of times for the [[Hugo Award]] and [[Nebula Award]], winning the [[Nebula Award]] for Best Short Story in 1995 and 1996 for, respectively, "Death and the Librarian" and "A Birth Day". She has also edited a large number of anthologies, perhaps most famously the ''Chicks In Chainmail'' series.
She lives in Connecticut with her husband, two children, two rambunctious cats, and a fluctuating population of hamsters.
