Mercedes Lackey
Mercedes Ritchie Lackey (born 1950) is an American writer of fantasy novels.

The Bedlam's Bard books describe a young man with the power to work magic through music; the SERRAted Edge books are about racecar driving elves; and the Diana Tregarde thrillers center on a Wiccan who combats evil.
