Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So apparently Judith Tarr, fantasy novelist who loves horses, is writing under a new pseud. Anyone know what it is?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

E-paper applications make me weak at the knees. I would love a sheet of 8.5x11 that I could print to from my laptop or desktop and then carry into, say the kitchen and have the recipe right there without having to take a computer in. Holds an image without power--that's hot.

Judith Tarr also wrote great historical Fantasy/Romances in which horses were not always the dominant element. (Though at least one had the romantic lead turned into a stallion for a large part of the novel.)

The pseud she uses for those novels is Caitlin Brennan. The first in that series is The Mountain's Call.

Oh! I read the first and third of those. The first started out pretty good, and then, meh. The third got me very confused because I thought it was the second. So my judgement was kinda off on that one. I had no idea it was Judith Tarr, though--the only other series of hers I read was the "Avaryan" books, which....well, those had an ending that was seriously weird, in my mind.
