Brief Author Bio: I was born some time ago. There were stories in my head. Honest, I swear I was born with them there! In childhood I read a gazillion novels, and at some point it occurred to me that I could maybe write novels. We pass over the following 35 years or so of writer's block and find me one day stuck in a recliner chair with the choice of writing my stories or playing mindless computer games for the rest of my days. Thus did I begin to write. Thus did I live happily ever after. *grins* |

Synopsis: A Child No Longer
This collection of short stories is set in the Thorne's Quest world. In each story a young woman comes to understand that she is a child no longer, but a woman grown. The various cultures of Thorne's world have different understandings of what constitutes adulthood. For the Banon, adulthood comes late, at about age 25. For the peasant-class Appelians, 12 marks the moment when a young person leaves school and must, by law, take gainful employment. All 7 cultures - Vendani, Banon, Hinnani, Izschadian, Appelian, Mablingen and Valgonian - are portrayed. The stories are set during The Great War, about 100 years before the Dark One is finally defeated.
