About the author

aka Barbara Hamilton

Ranging from fantasy to historical fiction, Barbara Hambly has a masterful way of spinning a story. Her twisty plots involve memorable characters, lavish descriptions, scads of novel words, and interesting devices. Her work spans the Star Wars universe, antebellum New Orleans, and various fantasy worlds, sometimes linked with our own.


"I always wanted to be a writer but everyone kept telling me it was impossible to break into the field or make money. I've proven them wrong on both counts."
-Barbara Hambly

This was just long enough to remind me how much I miss Sun Wolf, Starhawk and their ragged bunch of friends. It was amusing, as well, because anyone who actually knew Sun Wolf before he became a wizard would know how he'd solve the problem. I wonder how much her fans would need to come up with to adequately pay her for a whole novel?

Fun story, nice solution!

Novelette. From the POV of the girl asking Sun Wolf and Starhawk for help... as they untangle a nasty plot.

I like Sunwolf & Starhawk, and this way of dealing with the danger was ingenious. I described it to someone a few days ago because it stuck with me.
