BlueBarn Productions, 2015, $11

Quinn sets the stakes deliriously high in this final volume of her Gold Stone Girl trilogy, set in a feminist-nightmare dystopian future. The planetary monocontinent is shrinking, and reluctant heroine Mina, gifted with the power of dreaming, is marooned in the land of Disbelief and stalked by the predatory Night Mare. There's imagination and quirky humor for days—talking dresses, male housewives imprisoned by slugs—in this visionary finale to an eye-opening series.

Sulis of the S.U.L.

S.U.L., Suberterranean Upper Lifeform, a government-church acronym given to this species of mole-people.

The SUL are descendants of a thousand multi-ethnic founding families who pioneered the Core of the planet before Ulger blew the blue orb apart, and it reformed as the Pangeic-like continent of Blinkin.

The SUL were rediscovered in 3654 of the Night Mare's reign.

The culture is inward and mystic, influenced by the ethylene laced gas in the air of their underground city. Ethylene, they say, influenced the Oracles at Delphi.

SUL are unwelcome in Winkin City as too delusional. Fantasies are free floating and anyone might catch them.
But the Night mare likes a good oracle, so they are tolerated at the Manus Market and as homesteaders in the ruins Off-right.

This is the reason I wrote these books.

Hello Miss Quinn. I'm sure you get a million messages like this, but I wanted to say thank you. Your books have changed my life. I've always felt like women were treated so unfairly, but everyone around me disagreed, even the women. It frustrated me so much. After I read your books, I directed everyone I knew to them and several people read them. It got them thinking so we could actually have a real conversation about women's status in society and how to uplift ourselves. It's so refreshing when you find someone who feels the same way you do about things. I started following you on Facebook not long after I finished the second Gold Stone Girl book and realized that you're a soul sister. I appreciate all you do for women and the environment and am very excited about the third book. Thank you.

HAPPY MELTING!!!

In the Off-grid of Winking City it's traditional at this time of year  to hunt and melt monster eggs. It's messy, but the spring is less dangerous.

How many have you found?

The Night Mare's Thoughts on World Domination

“Charismatic leaders those with an actual cause, a burning reason to subjugate, are usually better at getting the citizens to participate in their own oppression. The people themselves discover too late the dangers of the path down which they’ve been led. I used a series of prophets myself. I was too insincere to do it personally. Charmers are very good at deluding. If the citizens walk down the path of evil on their own, by the time they feel the lead ring in their noses the system is already too deeply entrenched.” Anka, The Night Mare, Winkin City, (336789nm)
