Women in SF&F Month: Kate Elliott (with Book Giveaway!)
Today’s guest is fantasy and science fiction author Kate Elliott! She is sharing her own experience with gender roles as a child and how it influenced her writing (which is fantastic, by the way!).

Cold Fire ended up being not only one of my favorite books I read last year but also that special kind of book every reader loves to find – a […]

I’ve also gained a much greater appreciation for young adult books from reading her blog and have learned not to judge books by that category largely because of her. With great recommendations like Kristin Cashore and Megan Whalen Turner, […]
