Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965-67.<p>She was a science fiction/fantasy fan from her middle teens, and made her first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest in <b>Fantastic/Amazing Stories</b> in 1949. She had written as long as she could remember, but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she sold her first professional short story to <b>Vortex Science Fiction</b>. She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably best known for her <b>Darkover</b> novels.<p>In addition to her novels, Mrs. Bradley edited many magazines, amateur and professional, including <b>Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine</b>, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called <b>Sword and Sorceress</b> for DAW Books.<p>Over the years she turned more to fantasy; The House Between the Worlds, although a selection of the Science Fiction Book Club, was fantasy undiluted. She wrote a novel of the women in the Arthurian legends -- Morgan Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and others -- entitled <b>Mists of Avalon</b>, which made the NY Times best seller list both in hardcover and trade paperback, and she also wrote <b>The Firebrand</b>, a novel about the women of the Trojan War. Her historical fantasy novels, <b>The Forest House, </b> <b>Lady of Avalon</b>, Mists of Avalon are prequels to <b>Priestess of Avalon</b><p>She died in Berkeley, California on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering a major heart attack. She was survived by her brother, Leslie Zimmer; her sons, David Bradley and Patrick Breen; her daughter, Moira Stern; and her grandchildren.</p></p></p></p>
