HEIDI RUBY MILLER

REVIEWS Nice review from Publisher's Weekly for Starrie (From the World of Ambasadora) ! Though it is a standalone novel, this book takes place chronologically right after Greenshift and runs concurrent with Marked by Light . "Miller’s short third novel in the space-faring, caste-bound, hierarchically polyamorous, and socially striated Ambasadora universe (after 2013’s Greenshift) manages to balance the exoticized presentation of the setting with relatable human interaction...the romance between Ben and Naela highlights the emotional side of reaching out to those who are different from you, even in a world where those differences are stylized and codified."

Book Reviews Here's what Kimberly Lundstrom at The Fix had to say about my story "The Islands of Hope" in the Fantasist Enterprises' anthology Sails and Sorcery: Tales of Nautical Fantasy : "Miller’s prose is clear, bold, and direct. She introduces us to a realistic, interesting, sympathetic character in Julian, whose motivations are believable and clearly communicated in a tale that arcs gracefully through conflict and complications, and comes to its inevitable, but still unexpected conclusion." Thank you, Kimberly. This is the first time my story has been mentioned in one of the reviews. Thanks to Paul S. Kemp , who also received praise for his story "The Spinner" , for finding this review.
