Okay now, I've just gotten grumpy as a curmudgeon, but I'm still happy enough to dance. First i tried to post about this and lost my post somehow. Now I have to redo it. I was putting the quote's I have just received about my book up here. One of them from the back cover. I am very delighted to announce that the Collection In The Darkness, Hunting: Tales of the Lionhawk is available from shocklines.

And people are saying wonderful things about it already. Including:

“Had these stories gotten the attention they deserved in the 1970s they might have been recognized as ground breaking, as were the intergender characterizations in Ursula LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness and John Varley's Gaea series, which were among the works that helped bring science fiction to maturity. … it was Conan who outsold the rest. The naive power of the prose was exactly what Janrae Frank had captured so perfectly, and the Chimquar stories within this context were likewise works of genius.

Preface to In The Darkness Hunting

Twenty-four years after reading that first story, I have at last been able to read more of her writing set in the Shaurone Amazon Empire. The breadth and depth of the world Janrae has created is incredible. It has color, complexity, and a blazing vivid life, which draws me in as certainly as that short story did a generation ago.
