One of the reasons I like speculative fiction of all kinds is because important and controversial issues can be explored at a safe distance without cultural or religious offense to anyone as long as they are in the context of a good well written story.
In fact, I think speculative fiction is better at this than mainstream and probably impacts on a wider range of readers.

Keep pushing the genre envelope, glenda – originality and innovation are two of your many strengths.

Nice array of book covers. 🙂

This, of course, does not apply to your books! I love the characters, the adventure, the romance and the suspense! Ignore the prat, it never ceases to amaze me how people can say such hurtful, unnecessary things without thinking.

I love ’em. Asimov started me on the Sci-Fi road and then I got onto Fantasy as well. When I return from the UK I will make a determined effort to find your books on this side of the world.

I think such a comment only reflects on the stupidity of its maker. How on Earth can he know what all fantasy readers want? How can he assume they all want the same as him?

Ignore it, I’d say.

Here’s wishing you and your loved ones a joyous and blessed holiday season and a wonderful new year.

(My first short story was published in ‘Dark City 2’ recently.) 🙂
