Antha is another sci-fi writer who's with me in the Athena's Daughters Volume 2 anthology.  She wrote the specific story called Hot Flash, which is about..."Beth Webster loved to spend cold days curled up with a good book and a toasty fire.  But when the change ignited a fire inside her, she had to find a way to shed her excess heat."

I blinked once and within the same year that ELECTED came out, I'm involved in a second book that's being published.  This next novel, ATHENA'S DAUGHTERS VOLUME 2, is an anthology of sci-fi short stories, all written by women and with women as the main characters.  The purpose of the book is to promote women in the dominantly male sci-fi genre.  All of the people involved in the book are women - from the writers to the editors to the illustrator.
