These stories are not like anything else I've ever read and she has them on her website -mannazone.org. I've bought the books, happily, in case I don't have access to the website sometime in the future. Once you get sucked in... you are in for good! As it says (somewhere on her site) "there are good guys and bad guys and then there are worse guys". Such complex world building but never an info dump - I love this stuff - can you tell?!PeggyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754377668555438816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-43853685772098422572009-11-25T16:20:33.274-08:002009-11-25T16:20:33.274-08:00*goes to closet to dig out karate weapons**goes to closet to dig out karate weapons*Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-74916968794099771242009-11-25T15:08:11.102-08:002009-11-25T15:08:11.102-08:00Chris, pretty sure... since I'm heaps more awe...Chris, pretty sure... since I'm heaps more awesome. *smiles sweetly*<br /><br /><br />Thanks Lesley!

I remember reading about A St...Great list, Lesley!<br /><br />I remember reading about A Strong and Sudden Thaw when it came out, but somehow it fell off of my radar. I'll have to check it out.<br /><br />One m/f book that reminds me of Wicked Gentlemen, though not at dark is Dru Pagliosotti's Clockwork Heart. It is also a steampunk romance where two people from very different classes come together. Interestingly enough, the author is also an academic who writes muchly on yaoi. (In fact her site is where I first heard of it!)<br /><br />I'm currently reading Zero at the Bone, thanks to the posts at your place a few months back. It's really great reading so far! (I even posted a bit about it on Monday.)<br /><br />I'm really intrigued by Mind F*ck, and noticed it on your most recent Desert Island pick. I'll have to cruse by Manna Francis' site!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-14531550290250257022009-11-25T14:08:37.820-08:002009-11-25T14:08:37.820-08:00Kris - you could buy a copy of Mindfuck with your ...Kris - you could buy a copy of Mindfuck with your Book Depository token. :)<br /><br />That's where I got my copies from.
