I'm afraid I've never heard of her/him? My choice of SciFi/Fantasy is sporadic, because there are no english bookstores anywhere near my area and I can't afford new books too often, so I wait until I can get to the second hand bookstores near our family summer cottage and grab a ton then. So I don't always hear about new authors.

I really HAVE got to start making a list each winter. I've been saying that for years. Maybe some day it will happen. =>}
