3) May Sinclair (1863-1946)
Author and Suffragette, May Sinclair is a lesser known writer (again) but she's having a bit of Renaissance! She wrote two volumes of supernatural tales - Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor (1931). Check out the upcoming BL collection!
One of the questions that got sent in for Rose that we didn't get time to ask today was 'what the wildest or most chaotic retelling of a classic you've ever read'. I don't know Rose's answer but I place before the panel my own entry.
Can anyone beat it?
10) N G Peltier - Sweethand
You may begin to note some trends in my pics... I'm a sucker for baking and cooking based stories! This one came recommended and it is smart, sexy and full of baked goods!
6) Alyssa Cole - The AI Who Loved Me
This is just a short novella. As the name suggests, it's a short sci-fi with AI. It a quick nibble of a book with some high stakes and some fairly slow burn. Lovely!
