Cynthia Felice
About Her Writing…
Cynthia Felice is best known for her complex, carefully plotted novels.
These, which range from the complicated menage a trois in The Sunbound
to the marital contention in Eclipses, have been described as engrossing,
amusing, and compelling. Exotic, exciting detailed settings and intense
interpersonal relationships make her novels some of the reliably enjoyable
science fiction on the market today, and have inspired such comments as
“Let me choose my words carefully. This is the finest science fiction
novel I have read in the last five Years” in Science Fiction Review,
and “…fun, fast and full of schemes that keep it entertaining” Locus.
