A month or so ago, sister Hadley Rille Books author Karin Gastreich had a fantastic idea: put three female fantasy authors in a virtual room and let them talk about the genre they love.  Fortunately, I and my other HRB book sister, Terri-Lynne DeFino, were both invited to be a part of this grand adventure.  And now I am proud to announce that our "virtual room," the blog Heroines of Fantasy, officially launched on Monday, September 5th with Karin's fantastic first post "Why Fantasy?"

"Why Fantasy" indeed!  If you've ever pondered this question yourself, or if you'd simply like to engage in what has become a very stimulating discussion of the genre, hop on over to Heroines of Fantasy and check it out!  While you're there, enter to win a copy of Karin's novel Eolyn!  And this Monday, September 12th, pop over and check out my first HoF post "Why Heroines?" in which I will attempt to say fascinating things about the roles of women in traditional and modern fantasy. 

So... um... are you still here?  Go check it out!
