Roby James to edit Warrior Wisewoman, from Norilana books

Cover for Warrior Wisewoman

Norilana Books is proud to announce a new annual anthology series of science fiction featuring powerful and remarkable women, Warrior Wisewoman, to be edited by Roby James. The first volume is scheduled to be published under the Norilana Books Science Fiction imprint, in trade paperback format, in 2008.

Warrior Wisewoman is intended as a sister volume to the Sword and Sorceress fantasy series, with the main difference being that the story themes will involve science fiction instead of fantasy, and will be intended for a more mature audience.

"I am looking for stories that shed light on the truth of what it means to be female, that illuminate the wisdom and the strength of a woman.... I love action and adventure, grand space opera, thrilling discovery, and intelligent protagonists.... The stories should contain the question of 'what if' on some level. And they should have a woman answer it."

— Roby James
