The Wood Wife - Terri Windling.
I read a short story of hers, loved her style and found this on half.com.
I relate to her characters - this one in particular has an affinity for both the Southwest Desert and the West country in the UK - Cornwall, Devon and Dartmoor.
Her characters are alive and take many forms, mystical, magical, quasi-human, quasi based on indiginous(sp?) folklore - the Trickster, the Hag, etc. Stayed up till the wee hours on this one.
I am a fan of Sci-fi, speculative fiction, horror, etc., but get really picky about fantasy. This one delivered for me and I will seek out other works she has participated in. she is quite accomplished, a painter, a writer, a poet and an excellent editor of anthologies and short story collections. I realized I have a few of her edited short story collections - Snow White and Blood Red is delicious.
She is an inspiration!
