Diana is far from being new in the fantasy field.  For starters, you can read
her previous stories in the "Thieves' World" series.  Then there are the
chronicles of Westria (set in a post-cataclysm earth in which the only folk
deemed worthy to survive are the Society for Creative Anachronism -- just
kidding).  Titles: Lady of Light; Lady of Darkness.  Both published by Pocket
Timescape and subsequently victims of the strange mix of bureaucratese etc.
that surrounded the folding of that line.  The sequels have been bought by
Tor, and the third book tentatively titled Silverhair the Wanderer will be out
next year some time.  Other short stories have appeared in Amazing and Hecate's
Cauldron (published by DAW), and Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Sword and Sorceress"
anthologies and the "Greyhaven" anthology.  Also soon to be released (from
Berkley?): White Mare, Red Stallion, a romance novel with a twist (it's set
in 6th or so century Scotland; how many romance heroines carry on cogent 
conversations with the disembodied heads of their fathers?).  As you can tell,
I like her stuff too, and I think Brisingamen's the best of the lot.

I'll let her know she got a fan letter...
