female authors ranagrande Send a noteboard - 12/09/2009 10:28:12 PM
But what about you? What current female authors would you say need to have more pimpage here?
Let's see...

Sharyn McCrumb should definitely be on this list. Bimbos of the Death Sun is a cult classic, and should practically be required reading for any fan of fantasy or sci-fi.

Morgan Llywelyn might be the author who first got me hooked on ancient historical fiction. Druids is still one of my favorites.

Joan Hess is my favorite author currently writing mysteries, and her character of Claire Malloy is one of my top three title detectives.

Claire Bell's Ratha series was my second favorite anthropomorphic fantasy series when I was younger. I heard that she has recently written another one, over a decade after the series ended, but I have not gotten a chance to read it yet.

I'll add more later.

This board is severely lacking in discussion of female authors Larry - 12/09/2009 08:11:46 AM 1440 Views
One of my two favorite authors is Melanie Rawn. MightyYT - 12/09/2009 09:16:40 AM 839 Views

I think what you mean is this board is lacking in discussion of lesser-known authors... Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:49:56 AM 924 Views
While part of that is true, part of it really deals with a thought when I glanced through the posts Larry - 12/09/2009 10:55:07 AM 967 Views

None. Why in the world would you place a quota on gender? *NM* Joker - 12/09/2009 10:46:45 PM 433 Views
