About the Author:

Before her death in July 1997, beloved lesbian-feminist author Chris Anne Wolfe published two Amazon adventure novels – Shadows of Aggar and Fires of Aggar. But these two volumes are only the first half of the four-part Aggar cycle. Chris Anne also published two stand-alone novels – a time-bending romance, Annabel and I, and a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Roses and Thorns. As her publisher and friend, I was honored to inherit the manuscripts of Chris Anne’s remaining novels, short stories, poetry and songs. These hand-written volumes include both remaining Aggar books – Sands of Aggar and Oceans of Aggar – and more than a dozen retold fairy tales, and original fantasy and contemporary novels. In 2012, with help from Rebecca Fitzgerald, Skye Montague, Noel Meredith and readers from all over the world, we launched Amazons Unite, a publishing house dedicated to Chris Anne’s work and other stories set on Aggar. Only Amazons Unite has the right to publish Chris Anne’s work and we take great pride in that mission.
