His departure requires keeping his emotions in check--not an easy thing to do when your brother starts texting things like, "What kind of penguin talks?" Praise for The Black Wolves of Boston: "Complex and funny series perfect for late-teens." -- Fantasy Literature Praise for Wen Spencer's Elfhome series: "Spencer's intertwining of current Earth technology and otherworldly elven magic is quite ingenious." -- Booklist "The melange of science fiction and fantasy tropes, starships rubbing shoulders with proud elf warriors, is uncommon but tasty. Established fans will enjoy this installment, and those unfamiliar with the series or Spencer may find it an intriguing introduction to her work." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Wen Spencer: "Wit and intelligence inform this off-beat, tongue-in-cheek fantasy. . . . Furious action . . . good characterization, playful eroticism and well-developed folklore. . . . lift this well above the fantasy average. . . . Buffy fans should find a lot to like in the book's resourceful heroine." -- Publishers Weekly on series debut Tinker Praise for Eight Million Gods : " Eight Million Gods is a wonderfully weird romp through Japanese mythology, culture shock, fan culture and the ability to write your own happy ending. It is diverting and entertaining fantasy." -- Galveston County Daily News
