The Encyclopedia of Fantasy: Edifice Faerie Urban Fantasy.I do love stories like this - stories that take a well-known work as their foundation and then poke around in it to locate the parts of the story that stick out in our minds as unfinished or unexplored.Daughter of Necessity (New York: Tor.com, 2014).Mad Maudlin (New York: Tor.com, 2014).Welcome to Welton (Cedar Crest, New Mexico: Book View Café, 2012).Driftwood (San Francisco, California: Tachyon, 2020).Lightning in the Blood (New York: Tor.com, 2017).Cold-Forged Flame (New York: Tor.com, 2016).

The Onyx Court sequence beginning with Midnight Never Come ( 2008) is Urban Fantasy of a traditional sort, the City in question – London during the rule of the first Elizabeth, and for a century or so after – being imagined as a vast Edifice-like entity (for Edifice, Faerie and Urban Fantasy see The Encyclopedia of Fantasy under links below), with a counter-queen ruling a land of Faerie deep Underground as the scientific enlightenment above threatens this precarious comity. The solution, a union of twins into a superior creature, is not unexpected. Most of her subsequent work has been fantasy, beginning with the Doppelganger sequence beginning with Doppelganger ( 2006 vt Warrior 2008), which explores with some deftness a perhaps implausible premise: all witches are born with Doppelganger twins, who must die in order to empower the survivor. Pseudonym of US author Bryn Neuenschwander (? - ), who began to write work of genre interest with "Calling into Silence" as Neuenschwander, which won the 2002 Asimov's Undergraduate Award, given by Asimov's in conjunction with the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts.
