title: The Glasswrights' Apprentice
author: Mindy L. Klasky
description: Rani Trader's story grows out of my own love of fantasy fiction. Rani is descended from the heros and heroines I've met and admired in the novels of Anne Bishop, Katherine Kurtz, and Patricia McKillip. At the same time, Rani is a unique, high-spirited individual - a proud, strong young woman who takes charge of the often-mystifying world around her. I hope that you will come to enjoy Rani's company as much as I have and follow her on her adventures in and around Morenia!

  This first novel would not have been possible without the support of an
  extraordinary number of people, especially Richard Curtis, Laura Anne Gilman,
  Deb Givens, Jane Johnson, Bruce Sundrud, the Washington Area Writers Group,
  and my family.
