She tweets @gaileyfrey and lives in Oakland, California. River of Teeth is her debut novella.
"Man-eating hippo mayhem is my new favorite mayhem. Gailey's debut
is a gift of violent, unexpected glee and I can't wait for more
capers with Winslow Houndstooth and Ruby the stealth hippo."
--Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author "This
hippopotamus epic is just as preposterously fun as you could
possibly have hoped -- but it's also a brave, clever alternate
history. River of Teeth packs one hell of a gold-plated bite."
--Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky "Weird
and wonderful, River of Teeth proves handily why Sarah Gailey is a
writer to watch." --Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author
of Star Wars: Aftermath and Invasive "Blisteringly imaginative, and
written with a sly, sharp wit." --Kate Elliott "A rowdy, rollicking
river ride from a sly and whimsical new writer. A damned fine
adventure for everyone. And I haven't even mentioned the hippos
yet. Get reading." --Kameron Hurley, Hugo Award-winning author of
Mirror Empire and The Geek Feminist Revolution
"River of Teeth is a wonderfully original debut." --NPR "Fun and
charming with killer hippos and even better characters." --Kirkus
Reviews "Fans of seedy westerns will greatly enjoy this tale of
gold-tusked hippos and the miscreants who ride them." --Publishers
Weekly "This is a thing I now know about Sarah Gailey: she is a
word-magician who can render searing touch on a flat page and
suspend disbelief flawlessly. The world of River of Teeth feels
vast, and navigable due to her skill. The characters within, deep
and yet intimately knowable." --Fran Wilde, Nebula-nominated, Andre
Norton- and Compton Crook-winning author of Updraft and Cloudbound
"I love Sarah Gailey's River of Teeth. It is sexy and raucous and
wild and beautiful and violent--aka, everything I've ever wanted
from a lawless caper through the American West. Gailey's
storytelling is clever and top-notch, and River of Teeth will leave
you with adrenaline humming through your veins. I can't recommend
this highly enough." --Alyssa Wong, Nebula Award-winning author of
"Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers"
