My friend Laura Anne Gilman aka suricattus is one hell of a writer. Her hero/ines kick ass and take names and her books are action packed. Check her out! And if you've read them and liked them, let her know! Let others know! You guys are great at that. :-)

---------------------------------

and, tah-dah, the Big Fat Fantasy I should have known better to write... out of a conversation about a wine-and-food expo between myself and madame agent, I was inspired to create a world where magic comes not from wizards, but winemakers.... and a young slave comes of age in the middle of a forbidden war....

Lynn: One of the perks of being a writer who is friends with a writer you like is that you get to read some of their manuscript early! Vineart is terrific. Look for it the same time WHITE ROAD comes out. We have the same pub date!
