Today is Rosemary Kirstein's birthday. She is an author you may not have heard of, and if so, you should have. She has a series of books about the Steerswoman (named Rowan), who is a character in an obviously-derivative fantasy setting, with low-tech settlements, wizards, dragons, trolls, and so forth.
The author has created a *rich* world with this setting, and thought *deeply* about the ecology of this world, which I wish far more authors would. I love the series.
