As Kilian Melloy noted on
Infinity Plus, "A writer as productive and wide-ranging as Rusch needs a roster of pen names to go with her torrent of output."
And a torrent it has been, with over sixty works racked up since publication of her first book in 1990. A prolific and popular writer, Rusch has had a great deal of influence on the genres of science fiction and fantasy writing toward the end of the twentieth century. "In less than a decade," noted Sydonie Benet in St. James Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers, "she has risen from relative obscurity to a highly regarded presence as both an editor and an author."

Then more seriously, she replied, "I love to write and I write quickly. I was trained to meet deadlines when I was a journalist.
