Lillian Stewart Carl’s work often features paranormal/fantasy themes and always features plots based on mythology, history, and archaeology. The latest of her fourteen (so far) novels is THE BURNING GLASS, third in a cross-genre series that begins with THE SECRET PORTRAIT and continues on with THE MURDER HOLE. “Authentic dialect, detailed descriptions of the castle and environs, and vivid characters recreate an area rich in history and legend. The tightly woven plot is certain to delight history fans with its dramatic collision of past and present.” — PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY

            Her next novel, BLACKNESS TOWER, a romantic fantasy, will appear in March 2008. Most of her novels are available in electronic form at www.fictionwise.com

            Carl has also published a short stack of non-fiction articles, and is co-editing(with Martin H. Greenberg) a retrospective of Lois McMaster’s Bujold’s science fiction work, titled THE VORKOSIGAN COMPANION, to be published in 2009.

            Of her mystery, fantasy, and sf short stories, three have been reprinted in Year’s Best Mystery anthologies. Almost all can be found in electronic form at Fictionwise. Eleven stories are available in a collection titled ALONG THE RIM OF TIME, and the most recent thirteen are collected in THE MUSE AND OTHER STORIES OF HISTORY, MYSTERY, AND MYTH.
