Aaaaaaand All Things Urban Fantasy liked SOUL OF FIRE as much as they did HEART OF BRIAR! “SOUL OF FIRE takes the foundation from book one and cracks GIlman’s world wide open….As always in Gilman’s fantasy, every war has consequences and rarely is there a win without sacrifice. Human, super, and preter societies are colliding, […]

from Publishers Weekly…. Fans and skeptics of the occult will be seduced and enthralled by Gilman’s metaphysical thriller about wicked elves, shape-shifting supernaturals and portals to another dimension. A fable of good versus evil, Gilman’s inspired fantasy is poised between two worlds: Human, whose denizens are unaware they are being invaded; and Preternatural, whose elf

“Calling this story a retelling of Tam Lin doesn’t do it justice. Gilman has taken the bones of that fairy tale and reassembled it entirely, restrung with strength and ferocity and drive outside that pale relationship between a woman and her lost lover.

The “Dog Talk” interview I did a while back is online now! In which I do a quick reading, talk about the household animals, learning Seattle to write about it, and what’s coming up next…. (go to the 46: mark – the previous guest ran long, so we were squished for time)

Okay, this is VERY IMPORTANT.  I have just learned that Daily SF March Madness starts on Friday (tomorrow). My story, “Mad Cats and Englishmen” is in the first round! This is utterly meaningless and carries nothing more than temporary bragging rights, and yet if I fail horribly in the first round, I will be crushed, crushed, I

Over on Civilian Reader, wherein we discuss who I am, what I do, and how I know I’m not a cartoon character… In other news, there’s not a lot to tell…yet. Hold onto that YET for a while longer….

Yeah, it’s sort of been “all mystery all the time” here, and that will probably continue for another month or so. But there will be stuff on the fantasy front soon too, I promise! —————– So, everyone loves it when a reviewer – a professional critic – likes their book. But honestly, the thing that
