Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has said much more in print about her writing than about her life. Her writing output is substantial, with more than thirty novels published since 1976. She has written many short stories, a play, three books about an entity called Michael that were published as nonfiction, and many articles and book reviews. She is also a serious composer, with a number of musical compositions to her credit. Perhaps the best-known of Yarbro's works are the Saint-Germain novels, based on rumors about an actual nobleman in eighteenth-century France. In these novels, she has recreated the count as a vampire and has taken him through the centuries to settings that range from ancient Rome to modern times. In fact Yarbro's SaintGermain series, along with the very different vampire novels by Anne Rice, can fairly be said to have started the contemporary "revisionist vampire" subgenre...
