"Exploring
the interface between mysticism and feminism, The Kin of Ata is the
best yet in the newly emerging genre of women's fantasy fiction".
"The
evolution of a female messiah who, by her total spiritual consistency
and growth, influences the 'author' and the entire world; mystical
fantasy of the highest order".
Originally
published by the author under the title "The Comforter". |

Angela, |
New
York has become a dance of chaos for Evelyn, a young Englishwoman
whose fate is that of Tiresias. For in the arid desert, now the post-menopausal
part of the earth, a many-breasted fertility goddess will wield the
obsidian scalpel that is to transform him into the new Eve.
This
is the story of how Evelyn learns to be a woman - first in the brutal
hands of Zero, the poet, the ragtime Nietzsche, the one eyed, one
legged monomaniac; then through the gentle touch of the ambiguous,
ancient Tristessa, the beautiful ghost of Hollywood past, myth made
flesh, in a glass palace full of worn-out dreams.
And
the story tells of how, in a California torn by civil war, in a deserted
cave by the sea, Eve comes to learn at last a kind of enlightenment. |

Suzy
McKee, |
A
reclusive artist trapped within her masterpiece, a wall that touches
the essence of myth, the spirit of time.
A
dying author, an old lover drawn halfway around the world to rekindle
Dorothea's past.
Three
young men driven to violence to save their ancient barrio.
And
a ghost - a phantom from a distant time, fleeing the last days of
a decadent aristocracy - haunting, perhaps, the wrong person.
A
mystery within a riddle of time. Of death. Of dreams. |
