A Few Of My Favorite Authors
Being a voracious reader of sci-fi and fantasy, I have a lot of favorite authors and I'm always happy to share information on a new author or book.
If you're interested in more urban fantasy - books, videos, art, or graphic novels - check out my store!
Demona - Book One
Of course, family first! My niece has published her very first book. I've read it and it's very, very good. It's in the dark fantasy genre, with shapeshifters, dragons, elves, magic and more!
Patricia Briggs - Mercy Thompson series
This is a way cool series that I stumbled over, having bought Moon Called at my local Friends of the Library bookstore. I am completely hooked and in fact the fantasy novel I'm writing was inspired by Moon Called. (Of course my novel isn't in Patricia Briggs/Mercy Thompson's world at all, it's probably two dimensions over and a quick left turn into my fantasy world.)
I think I've read every one of these books at least three times, including the latest, Silver Borne.

Patricia A. McKillip
Patricia A. McKillip's books are like reading poetry in a prose form. The Riddle-Master of Hed is a personal favorite of mine. I just love this trilogy. It's been out of print for a while, but now there's a new edition with all three books in one. I was just chatting with a friend online the other day about this book. It's awesome!
Another favorite is The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. A tale of wizardry, revenge, and redemption, I love the way that McKillip paints a fantasy with her prose.
The last that I've chosen to feature is Solstice Wood. McKillip's prose is more spare and less poetic than her other novels, but still an absorbing work of fantasy. I highly recommend it.
