About this author

Stella Atrium is author of SufferStone (launch 1/12) and HeartStone (launch 6/12), two fantasy books of the Dolvia Saga.

"Many fantasy stories today as set in Medieval times with castles and horses and magic and princesses needing rescue. Nobody asks, 'How did these humanoids get here?' or 'Why are there so many races of people?'

So I wrote a fantasy series with several races (no elves or dwarfs or vampires), except I placed events in today’s world with helicopters instead of horses, and peace-keeping soldiers instead of warriors, and the internet instead of homing pigeons.

Events take place on another planet discovered by a mining interest from Earth led by the Chinese. Other adventurers are from America, France and Australia. They work for a...more


Killing off the Bad Guy: Robin Hobb Series Finale

I’m an unabashed fan of Robin Hobb and force copies her books on my
friends so we can discuss the characters and inventive plot twists
later. Dragon warming stations! What a hoot!



I’ve read each

SufferStone (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
1 chapters   —   updated Nov 30, 2011 07:51am
Description: On Dolvia the women of the savannah serve under the burka, but Kyle Le was denied that covering by tribal leaders. Only her gift of second sight and the mortgage on her father’s land protects her and her three sisters. Kyle Le meets Brian Miller, a Softcheeks who teaches her about offworld politics and accumulating wealth while she teaches him the words of power from Mekucoo. Working alongside the warrior Cyrus, they labor against the mining enterprise that robs the savannah of it mineral wealth and leaves the tribes with only the scarred and suffering land.

“The dichotomy is delicious. Inside the fantasy genre, I try to present women who need to solve real problems like having no voice in community, or no right to work; no access to capital to start a business. No reinforcement for talent.”
