A Talespinner's Web: Science fiction books

Adult Women

All of my books are intended to be just plain fun, but each is based on strong philosophical concepts and each has an underlying premise. Cultures are fully developed and not U.S. ethnocentric. In other words, I don't just put mine in the future. The development of loving relationships is central to every story. Concepts of family are explored in most. Gordon R. Dickson, one of the two talespinners who had the most influence on my life, told me, "The best way to teach is with a good story. That's every writer's real job. Write good entertainment and teach well." I listened, Gordy. These books represent seven years of dawn to late night work, and every one contains a bit of what you and Robert taught me in yours.

From Style and Purpose: Every book is written to be interesting to read several times. They're constructed so the reader develops a complete mental picture over the course of the book. However, the books are 'dense', very fast paced with a great deal of complexity, so that picture lacks detail. In other words, there's too much to remember everything and how it all fit together after one reading. I wrote them to haunt the reader. The imagery is designed to cause the questions "Now where was that? How did that happen?"
