C. Dale Brittain is an American author and professor of medieval history. As well as writing historical works, she is the author of fantasy novels.

Biography

Brittain's best-known novel is A Bad Spell in Yurt, the first of the Royal Wizard of Yurt series. The series continues with The Wood Nymph and the Cranky Saint, Mage Quest, The Witch and the Cathedral, Daughter of Magic, and Is This Apocalypse Necessary? The first five books, published by Baen Books, are currently out of print but are available as e-books and audiobooks and are back in print in omnibus editions. The last book in the series, published by The Wooster Book Company, remains in print.[1]

Brittain has published three novellas in the Yurt series, The Lost Girls and the Kobold, Below the Wizards' Tower and A Long Way 'Til November. These are available as Kindle books and as a print omnibus. She has also written four books in a new next-generation Yurt series, beginning with The Starlight Raven, about a girl who wants to be the first female wizard. She has also recently written a novelette-length prequel to the original Yurt series, The Making of a Wizard. Her other fantasy books are set in universes closer to that of the real Middle Ages.

Brittain is married to Robert A. Bouchard, a molecular biologist.
