Newford, 1990s. When a hit-and-run accident leaves mystical artist Jilly
Coppercorn partially paralyzed, her only hope for recovery lies in the
surreal "dreamlands." In this other world, she confronts painful secrets
from her past that prevent her from healing. Some explicit descriptions of
sex, some violence, and some strong language. 2001.
Below is a clip from the author's web site describing his type of writing.
I enjoyed this story despite having to wait for a replacement copy of the
tape in the middle of the book. I give this one a 4.5 out of 5.
Happy reading,

The best definition I can come up with for my writing was in a review that
described it fantasy for people who don’t normally read fantasy. I've taken
to
calling my writing "mythic fiction," because it's basically mainstream
writing that incorporates elements of myth and folktale, rather than
secondary world fantasy. I've written the latter, to be sure, and dabbled in
science fiction
and dark fantasy, but an overall view of my work will show that such stories
are very much the exception, rather than the rule. I’m delighted that the
novels and stories are so well-received within the
fantasy and science fiction field, but I’m also very pleased that so many
other readers enjoy them as well. My fans have been incredibly loyal and
supportive to me. If you are one of my readers, I'd like to say thank you
for helping me make a living from what I love to do.
