Excerpt: Vicci tried to stifle her sigh. The large black room reminded her uncannily of an enormous box. Multi-colored strobe lights lit up the stage, where a band of bored-looking, barely pubescent young men made very loud noises supposedly singing yet another of their songs. As Vicci couldn’t distinguish one “song” from the next, she had long ago filtered out the noise.

The Worlds of Anne McCaffrey
This is the eulogy Alec Johnson, Anne’s eldest son, read in the funeral service held for Anne McCaffrey November 26th, 2011. For nearly 60 years it’s been my distinct honor to be Anne McCaffrey’s eldest son. And it is with equal measures of joy and sorrow that I accept the honor of addressing you now as we celebrate the life and mourn the passing of the Queen of Science Fiction. I’m joined today by my brother, the author Todd McCaffrey, and my sister, Georgeanne, her husband, Geoffrey, and their son Owen. My daughters Eliza and Amelia couldn’t be here, nor was Todd’s daughter Ceara able to join us. Yet this list is far from being the sum of Anne McCaffrey’s family.

My mother remembers an 8-year-old me setting up my “writing office” in our living room by putting her old manual typewriter on the couch next to a toy phone. And I (very slowly) pecked out the story of my third-grade class taking a trip around the world and losing a kid in each city. I had a dark sense of humor, even then. In high school, when other girls my age were writing poems about dying unicorns and bleeding roses, I was writing essays about having political arguments with my dad at the dinner table.

10 Fantasy Books with Excellent Feminist Heroines
This post is sponsored by Harper Paperbacks, publishers of Erika Johansen’s bestselling Queen of the Tearling trilogy. The Invasion of the Tearling, volume two in the bestselling Queen of the Tearling trilogy, is now in paperback. Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic trilogy in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler—and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. Buzzfeed says, “The world of The Queen of the Tearling is an intoxicating brew of dystopian fiction, high fantasy, science fiction, and a bit of a horror—and in The Invasion of the Tearling, Johansen…takes this trilogy to even greater heights.” Whether they’ve got magical talents, an enchanted sword, a Chosen destiny, or a “just won’t quit” attitude going for them, fantasy is full of amazing feminist heroines. Here are 10 of my favorites.

Vampire Romance Series
Welcome to my world . . . Why vampires? Two of the most powerful human emotions are fear and desire. They rule many of our actions when we're awake, and they inspire the most vivid dreams when we're asleep. The intrigue of the vampire through the ages has been the twining of these two emotions--we fear him, yet his darkness is the very thing that makes him so compelling, so incredibly desirable. We can never be sure if we're completely safe with him, yet we can't stay away.
