商品簡介
A trio of novellas exploring the fascinating realm of Elfhome, a world where modern day Pittsburgh has collided with the kingdom of the Elves. A special entry in the the best-selling Romantic Times Sapphire award winning Elfhome series.
Pittsburgh, City of Humans and Elves!
A sprawling modern Earth city is stranded in a magical realm where humans and elves must learn to live—and fight—together against an implacable enemy. As the war between the elves and the evil oni builds to a climax, three women struggle with the challenges of a world tossed upside down.
In "Bare Snow Falling on Fairywood," Forager Law seeks out wild plants and fish to sell to elf enclaves. A social misfit, she drives a hundred year old Dodge, has a pet porcupine, and saves damsels in distress in her spare time. Now a mysterious phone call sets her on a collusion course with danger as she races to save a young female elf.
In "Pittsburgh Backyard and Garden," Jane Kryskill is the producer for the popular television series Pittsburgh Backyard and Garden. She's not happy when the network drops famed naturalist Nigel Reid into her lap to film reality t.v. showChased by Monsters. It is Jane's task to see that Nigel does not become a tasty snack for Elfhome's man-eating vegetation.
"Peace Offering" presents Olivia, sixteen, the runaway wife of a religious cultist, an illegal immigrant, and a soon-to-be mother. As Pittsburgh plunges into war, she makes a desperate bargain with the mad elf lord, Forest Moss—a bargain that will either save her life, or destroy it.
Best-selling author Wen Spencer tells the stories of the "forgotten women" of Elfhome who nevertheless hold in their hands the fate of a multitude of worlds.
About Wood Sprites:
"[M]aintains the series' solid quality. . . . The girls are endearing without being twee, and bright but not implausibly brilliant, and Spencer's prose remains engaging. The melange of science fiction and fantasy tropes, starships rubbing shoulders with proud elf warriors, is uncommon but tasty. Established fans will enjoy this installment, and those unfamiliar with the series or Spencer may find it an intriguing introduction to her work."—Publishers Weekly
About Wen Spencer's Elfhome series:
“Spencer's intertwining of current Earth technology and otherworldly elven magic is quite ingenious.” —Booklist
About Wen Spencer:
“Wit and intelligence inform this off-beat, tongue-in-cheek fantasy. . . . Furious action . . . good characterization, playful eroticism and well-developed folklore. . . . lift this well above the fantasy average. . . . Buffy fans should find a lot to like in the book's resourceful heroine.”—Publishers Weekly on series debut Tinker
About Wen Spencer's Eight Million Gods:
Eight Million Gods is a wonderfully weird romp through Japanese mythology, culture shock, fan culture and the ability to write your own happy ending. It is diverting and entertaining fantasy."—Galveston County Daily News

According to Spencer, she lives with "my Dalai Lama-like husband, my autistic teenage son, and two cats (one of which is recovering from mental illness). All of which makes for very odd home life at times." Spencer's love of Japanese anime and manga flavors her writing. Her novel Tinker won the 2003 Sapphire Award for Best Science Fiction Romance and was a finalist for theRomantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Fantasy Novel. Her Wolf Who Rules was a Top Pick byRomantic Times and given their top rating of four and a half stars. Other Baen books includeEndless Blue and Eight Million Gods.
