(Author Of Original Novel) had written a dozen novels for children before launching his first adult novel, WICKED. A devotee of children’s fantasy, Maguire’s subsequent novels for adults are variations-on-a-theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister considers Cinderella as a seventeenth-century maid from Haarlem; Lost evokes the ghost of Charles Dickens’ Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror concerns a High Renaissance Snow White trapped in a household governed by the scheming Borgias. Maguire’s latest novel is Son of a Witch, a sequel to WICKED. He lives outside Boston with his husband, the painter Andy Newman, and their three children.
