| abstract | - Lackey graduated from Purdue University in 1972. While at university, she began publishing work in fanzines and eventually sold a story to Fantasy Book Magazine. Around this time, she married but later divorced her first husband, Tony Lackey, and eventually married Larry Dixon. They live together outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The basis of Lackey’s Arthurian novel, Gwenhwyfar, The White Spirit, was originally stimulated by the Welsh Triad (No. 56) entitled ‘The Three Guineveres’. She also incorporated elements of the ‘False Guinevere’ or Gwenhwyfach, and Triad 53 where it was stated that Gwenhwyfach struck Gwenhwyfar and thus caused the Battle of Camlann.

Lackey received harassment from a small but determined number of fans over the decision. She claims that the trouble escalated to the point where she and her husband received death threats and were temporarily forced to suspend their fandom activities. She resumed attending conventions by 2004. Her earlier Velgarth novels are all solo projects, but later volumes in the Valdemar saga are illustrated by her husband Larry Dixon, and in many of her latest works he is also credited as co-author. Many of her other novels are collaborations. She has worked with fantasy authors Andre Norton, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Piers Anthony, and most recently has written The Obsidian Trilogy with historian James Mallory and a historical fantasy series based on Elizabeth I with romance writer Roberta Gellis.
