title: Fantasy Authors: A Research Guide (Author Research)
author: Jennifer Stevens
description: Although there are a number of readers-advisory guides for fantasy, this one, part of the new Author Research Guides series, combines elements of readers advisory and research tools. Entries for around 100 contemporary and historical fantasy writers are arranged alphabetically, and each includes a short biographical sketch and lists of major works, research sources, and Web sites. The details are what make this book. Each biographical sketch ends with a quote from the author; the research sources include interviews; and the Web sites include official author and estate sites. More than 20author entries also have read-alike lists to provide readers with suggestions for similar authors. A list of authors by type following the entries can serve this function for authors not included in the read-alike lists. --Cynthia Crosser

  All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are
  either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
  Sometimes both.
