Fantasy fiction

Fantasy fiction - what does it mean to write fantasy fiction? We were lucky enough to hear Brent Weekes speak via skype from his home in USA last week. As he put it when you write fantasy, you can use the whole playground and the writer makes the rules!
If you haven't tried a fantasy author yet, this is the month to do it. Here's a very short list to start:
Joe Abercrombie
Peter V Brett
Terry Brooks
Tom Holt
Stephen Leather
Ursula Le Guin
George R R Martin
Elizabeth Moon
Robert Rankin
Brent Weekes

Junior and Young Adult readers may like the following
Holly Black
Isabel Carmody
Suzanne Collins
Becca Fitzpatrick
Charlie Hickson
Garth Nix
Terry Pratchett
If you have other authors to suggest, send me a list and a book review.
Happy reading, Helen
