Nice notice for Jenn

In its brief review of the new sci-fi anthology Warrior Wisewoman 2, Library Journal chose Jenn’s story (the first in the collection) as one of two that received a positive mention.

Warrior Wisewoman 2. Norilana. Jun. 2009. c.272p. ed. by Roby James. ISBN 978-1-60762-028-0. pap. $11.95. SF

In “The Executioner,” Jennifer Brissett tells an eerie tale of a woman randomly chosen to serve as a one-time bringer of death, while in Jennifer R. Povey’s “Working the High Steel,” a Mohawk woman defies her gender to traverse the “high beams” of space construction. Other contributors include Ian Whates, Ardath Mayhar, Jeff Crook, and Kate MacLeod. VERDICT The 15 original stories in this theme collection explore the many roles of women in the future, as warrior, nurturer, or sometimes both. A good selection for larger sf collections.
