Another nice notice

Warrior Wisewoman 2 got a detailed review from Nerine Dorman, an author and blogger in South Africa, including this about Jenn’s story:

If there’s one story that stood out the most for me, it’s The Executioner by Jennifer Brissett. After reading this one, the majority of the stories in this anthology paled in signficance. Jennifer tells the tale of a future where ordinary persons have to play the role of executioner, much as Americans have jury duty, from what I understand of the US’s system. We see that the death-dealer is very much a woman, a nurturer, who is forced to take a life. A gritty, shocking tale, it caused a pause for thought.

Dorman seems like an interesting individual. Here’s her bio:

Nerine Dorman was born in Cape Town, during the previous century, and has been writing weird tales involving gothboys, vampires, werewolves and other strange beasties since she can remember. She’s been a Spur waitress, is an experienced penguin wrangler, plays piano accordion badly, edits genre fiction, loves travelling and lives with her photographer husband in a log cabin on stilts near Cape Point, where she regularly has to fend off baboons armed only with a broomstick. Her mother still asks when she’s going to write some “proper” fiction.
