Dr. Lesley Farmer - KLIATT

Four well-regarded women fantasy writers—Delacroix, Kurland, McKillip, Shinn—have written lengthy short stories about romantic fantasy for this anthology. Delacroix's cautionary tale about the shapes of love reveals the impact of perspectives. Kurland recounts a family epic of independent heroes and heroines. McKillip tells of an artist who activates a Gorgon to inspire him. Shinn reveals how angels can interact intensely with humans. As would be expected, the writing is professional, the plots well crafted. This anthology is a good way for readers to be introduced to these authors' styles.
