Biography

Raised in Kingston, Ontario, her first sale was to the Picton Gazette when she was ten. They paid $10 for two of her poems. She joined the Canadian Naval Reserve in 1975 as a cook, ending her service in 1979 after four years. She later received a BAA degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto.


She spent eight years from 1984 to 1992 working at Bakka, North America's oldest surviving science fiction book store, in Toronto. During this time she wrote 7 books and 9 short stories, many of which were subsequently published. In 1992, after living for 13 years in downtown Toronto, she moved with her four large cats to the countryside of rural Ontario, where she currently resides with her partner Fiona Patton. Her current pet population consists of six cats and an unintentional chihuahua.

Huff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (200 words)
Huff: A non-standard unit of measure that is expressed in pie.
If one Huff is equal to two pie, then 2 Huffs equal 6 pie.
The reasoning behind this goes back to the law of physics known as “The Huff Law” Which states that any where there is more than one pie, you can find a Huff.
The SF Site Featured Review: Wizard of the Grove (932 words)
Tanya Huff worked at Bakka, Canada's oldest SF and fantasy book store, for many years.
Like Gaiman's Death, Huff's Death is a being who serves primarily as a gatherer of the souls of the dead -- nothing vengeful or evil about it, it's just what he was born to do.
Huff also displays a good, if sometimes subtle, sense of humour in all her works.
