T. R. Neff, "Torrie" to her friends.
She refuses to be pigeonholed as a writer, and prefers the following genres:
Post-Apocalyptic Mysteries
Black-Humored, Roman-flavored and/or Eschatological Fantasy
Psychodramatic, Atavistic Horror (the more Lovecraftian / Barkerish, the better)
In other words, whatever the hell she feels like writing.
She loves Jesus/God/Holy Spirit, her parents and grandparents, peeps (the baby birds and her friends), opals (black, fire, milky!), MMA fighting, guns, Mustangs (all three kinds), her US Navy and shipmates, goats, rhinos (animal them

Besides any of my own worlds (then again, mine tend to get dark, so probably not a good idea to go there...)?

And why just one? Why not a tour?

Let's see: as a child I loved anything to do with unicorns, so I'd probably head for Narnia where I would get to ride one, although a short trip through post-Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn forest would be on the itinerary just to see them all in their natural habitat.

Next, I'd head for the worlds of Michael Moorcock, but only for a glimpse. Battles between Order and Chaos get pretty ugly, and I would not want to be nearby when Stormbringer gets thirsty.

Then I would round off my trip with a jaunt through the Shire just in time for one of Bilbo's extravagant birthday parties. After a week of sleeping off all the merriment, I'd head for Gateway (Fredrik Pohl), but only if I got hold of a round trip ticket back to Earth. I would NOT want to be stuck on the asteroid, forced to try my luck just to earn money to pay the air tax.(less)

Christmas Eve… To Dread or not to Dread

I had a spate of a decade or more where I really disliked Christmas Eve. Maybe “dislike” isn’t the right word. “Dreaded” serves better (not to be confused with Waking Dread, my novel). I’ve had a bad vehicle accident on Christmas Eve on my way to work and several near-misses in years following, almost like […]

Nightside City by Lawrence Watt-Evans
"This is a favorite. I have read it repeatedly.

Written in the late 1980s, it has aged like a fine wine. Nightside City could be released as a movie, this summer, and seem just about as plausible a story of the future now as it did upon the book's publ" Read more of this review »

"Totally an unexpected 5-star diamond in the rough!

Detectives in space?

Good tech with good science?

Ah, the old hardboiled mystery... except this one's got a few twists in it that could only exist in speculative fiction. I always loved the tough guys in the old pulp novels (and the movies, of course!) and Marn Vorsky's no exception. If I could choo ...more
