About this author

Truth may be stranger than fiction, but it's also far harder to track down. Jaine Fenn has had numerous short stories professionally published, some of which appear in the collection 'Downside Girls'.

Burn Bright by Marianne de Pierres
This YA novel has all the classic elements to engage the younger reader (and older ones for that matter). The hero, Retra, was brought up in a religious and repressive culture. She flees this seeking her brother, whose own decision to run away has ma...more

Writing a convincing alt. History in which Rome is still supreme is a tricky task, but Sophia McDougall does a damn...more

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
