Alison's new fantasy series is featured in her interview with Fantasy Book Critic. This is the first of her trilogy. She mentions Throne Price (2001) in the interview. The covers for her new series are gorgeous. And the series is based on a really original fantasy vision, and executed with all Alison's precision in world-building that she has demonstrated in her science fiction titles.

Kathleen's Book Club and Far Arena
 
Feedback on reception of Part 5: Far Arena as the associated discussion questions I provided for it, by my cousin Kathleen's book club in the lower mainland.



My book club was amazed to have an author in the family with book club questions. We had a great time with the book! Two feedback comments from them to you

1. They really feel the story would be well served as a TV program
2. In the book, by starting mid-way thru the series, they would recommend: a genealogy of the main families; a map and a glossary.

Thank you again for making this book so much fun for us. We really enjoyed it!

Love Kathleen
