This is the Year of Mocklore! 20 years ago, in April 1998, a nineteen-year-old aspiring writer got a phone call that would change her life: her unpublished novel had won a contest and was going to be published by Bantam/Transworld later that year.

THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO! I have a bunch of different projects happening over the year to celebrate my 2 decades as a published author. This is something I’ve been working on for a while -- a digital collected box set of all current Mocklore releases (3 novels, 6 short stories/novellas) exclusive to Kindle.

Heroic women, comic fantasy, big boots & flying sheep. Check out the Mocklore Chronicles.

I personally feel that the appropriate- clothing-for-fantasy-heroines fight won't be over until people begin depicting women wearing dresses as dangerous as a women wearing pants. The idea that women in dresses can't do anything is a victorian and modern one; women were archers, occasional swordfighters, did backbreaking farm work, hunted, and built buildings in dresses back in the day. 

When your heroine can be depicted in both a dress, and in trousers, depending on what she's doing or where she's going, that's when I say your fantasy heroine's good to go. Because the idea that a woman has to wear depicted-masculine clothing to do anything, is a sexist idea. 

It also conveniently forgets that men in medieval cultures wore 'dresses' all the time.

Pants are expensive, you know.
