Dreams & Swords by Katherine V Forrest

Dreams and Swords is not only the perfect introduction to Katherine V. Forrest's work--it is also a delicious treat for her fans.


Once upon a time, we were all children and short stories taught us how to read fiction. In the hands of true storytellers, they can still take us back to the very heart of why we love to read--and Katherine V. Forrest is one of those true storytellers.


This collection of her short stories showcases the brilliance of her gift, displaying the scope of her imagination and the range of her voice. From the erotic speculation of O Captain, My Captain to the incisive investigation of homicide detective Kate Delafield; from moral dilemma to chilling horror; from peril to passion, Forrest takes us across the vivid landscapes of her remarkable mind. A writer who has inspired both writers and readers, Forrest demonstrates her breathtaking versatility.


Originally published in 1987, Dreams and Swords is not only the perfect introduction to her work--it's also a delicious treat for her legions of fans.

Katherine V. Forrest's 15 works of fiction are in translation worldwide. In addition to Curious Wine, she is the author of the lesbian classics An Emergence of Green, and Daughters of a Coral Dawn, the first novel in her award-winning lesbian-feminist utopian trilogy, and her celebrated, award-winning eight-volume Kate Delafield mystery series. Her stories, articles and reviews have appeared in national and international publications. A highly respected fiction editor, she has worked with many published authors, has edited or co-edited numerous anthologies, and conducted seminars and taught many classes in the craft of fiction.

Honors and awards include four Lambda Literary Awards, the Bill Whitehead Lifetime Achievement from the Publishing Triangle, the Pioneer Award from the Lambda Literary Foundation, and a profile in USA Today. Senior editor at the storied Naiad Press for ten years, she is currently supervising editor at Spinsters Ink and editor-at-large for Bella Books.
