Author Jane Lindskold is known for her literate science fiction and fantasy novels that blend meticulous research, compelling plots, and convincing characterization to create works that live in the imagination long after the final page has been turned. To create such works, Lindskold follows her own rules of writing fantastic fiction, as laid out in an article for Writer. "Fantastic fiction [science fiction, fantasy, and alternate history] exists by virtue of an attractive paradox," Lindskold noted in her article. "Readers seek these stories for the elements of speculation and fantasy within, yet, simultaneously, the stories must be so believable as to present a viable alternative to the reality that we all know." For Lindskold, "succeeding at the challenge of making the unreal real is one of the most enjoyable things about writing in this genre." Whether writing in collaboration, as she did with Roger Zelazny in Donnerjack and Lord Demon, in stand-alone sci-fi and fantasy tales such as her early Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls, Marks of Our Brothers, Smoke and Mirrors, and Pipes of Orpheus, in companion volumes such as Changer and Legends Walking, or in a multi-volume saga like "Firekeeper," Lindskold treats her readers to that self-imposed precept of making the "unreal real." As the author noted on her Web site, "I like the freedom of building believable societies and characters.
