other fiction - Robin McKinley

[Tiffany B. Clark]

Susan:

Is anyone else a fan of Robin McKinley....
Her books REALLY are for young adults (unlike JKR's)....but I love the 
Blue Sword.
She also wrote a chilling book called Deerskin -- it's about child 
sexual abuse, and I recommend it to anyone who is a survivor...very 
well done, but difficult to read...GREAT fun part about rearing 
puppies, though....

I am geeked because I sent her an email and she actually wrote back at 
some length....only about four days later...

I wasn't a fantasy reader prior to SS, but after then I've read a lot 
of fantasy.  I found McKinley to be really good compared with the 
average novelist in fantasy, but nothing in the leagues of Tolkien or 
JKR.  I've read 3 books by her, don't know them all right now, but they 
were really good & quite enjoyable.
