In spite of these things--or perhaps because of them--she's convinced she lives in one of the most stunning places on Earth. Janni has written the three books of the Bones of Faerie Trilogy--Bones of Faerie, Faerie Winter, and Faerie After--as well as a contemporary Icelandic fantasy, Thief Eyes. She's also published four books for younger readers and more than thirty short stories, including one in the Welcome to Bordertown anthology. (added from Random House)… (more)
