Introduction to HollyLisle.comI believe in paying forward. The majority of this site (and the linked Forward Motion writers' community, which I put together some years ago and which now has its own site) is dedicated to my attempt to do just this -- to show my thanks to the people who helped me find the way to do what I love for a living by helping others do the same. This is a big site. I never remember quite how big until I check the Site Map to make sure it's updating correctly -- the site map is a good, quickoverview of what's available on the site. Readers is the link to Tangible Magic for Readers, which is both an introduction to my work and an entry into the community of people who enjoy it. (Currently any fan discussions take place in the FM Community, but someday I may end up doing a fan board, if numbers warrant.) Although my work is tough to categorize (I've written high, dark,and contemporary fantasy, hard SF, and non-fiction, among other things) I do have a theme that ties my books together. I write adventures in which strong women and strong men are pitted against terrifying obstacles, and in which their hope and idealism and courage and faith and intelligence are their only real weapons. My themes focus on personal responsibility, the power of the individual to effect change, and the power of love, honor, and courage to transform. If you want to write fiction for a living, I've created Forward Motion for you. Forward Motion consists of two basic sections -- the Articles and Workshops section, listed simply as Writers on the navigation bar above, in which I offer essays on my own experiences in writing professionally as well as workshops that you can use to improve your own work; and, the Forward Motion Community, which is huge and sprawling and very busy. Author will tell you a bit about me, give you links to free novels that I've made available online -- one is still in print and still selling very well, the other is sadly out of print now, but I like it a lot -- let you look over my growing bibliography, and offer some other interesting personal links. Contact is an e-mail form you can use to contact me directly. The address will be current, and the form headers will help me identify your e-mail as not spam -- definitely an issue. I end up weeding out a LOT of spam. Search the site (top right corner of any page) if you have a specific bit of information or a specific topic you want to find. This link will take you to the site search, which does not search the forums. However, it also offers a link to the forum search if you think you're likely to find the information you want there. |
