title: Stalking the Wild Hare: Stories from the Gen Con Writer's Symposium
author: Jean Rabe
description: I'm a fantasy and science fiction writer who sometimes dabbles in military fiction and mysteries, and even true-crime. And I'm an avid reader who has far too many books in a growing to-be-read stack. In fact, I have too many books to fit on my growing number of bookshelves. But don't worry, I'll get more! I live in Wisconsin, sharing my life and my house with my wonderful husband, three fine dogs, an obnoxious parrot, an assortment of goldfish, and a still-happily-growing to-be-read stack of books. I'm always working on a new project or three, so check out my upcoming releases.

  “The author of this tale of prehistory, Jean Auel, has performed a minor
  miracle in bringing to life the story of a lost girl adopted into a tribe of
  hunter-gatherers.… It is thoughtful, sensitive, and intelligently made.”

  “These are real people in every sense, mirroring both our virtues and flaws in
  heightened color.”

  “A page-turner … Jean Auel has used a remarkable setting … the conflict
  between past and future, the clash between the dying race and the new race
  that wonders and invents things.… Amazingly, Ms. Auel not only makes us see,
  feel, and smell what life was like then, but actually creates dimensional
  characters we can understand and sympathize with.… She has a thorough
  understanding of human nature, a gift for storytelling.”
