Renee Carter Hall writes fantasy and science fiction for adults who never quite grew up, with occasional excursions into dark fantasy, poetry, and stories for children and teens. Talking animals slip into her stories whenever they get a chance, and her work has been influenced by storytellers from a range of media, including Steven Spielberg, Ray Bradbury, and Jim Henson. Her most recent book, the anthropomorphic fantasy Huntress, received the 2014 Cóyotl Award for Best Novella.
Renee lives in West Virginia with her husband, their cat, and more books than she will ever have time to read. She can be found online at reneecarterhall.com and on Twitter as @RCarterHall.
In many anthologies I tend to skip a couple of stories that just don't work for me. That was not the case for this excellent anthology. I read every story from page one to the end. I wouldn't be able to pick just one favorite because they were all so amazing. I'd highly recommend this anthology. I'll certainly keep my eye out for more Spark Anthologies.
