Heiresses of Russ 2016: The Year's Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction - Softcover

A.M. Dellamonica's first novel, Indigo Springs, won the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. Her fourth, A Daughter of No Nation, has won the Prix Aurora. She is the author of over forty short stories in a variety of genres; these can be found on Tor.com, Strange Horizons, Lightspeed and in numerous print magazines and anthologies, most recently Beneath Ceaseless Skies. She teaches writing in person at the University of Toronto and online through the UCLA Extension Writers' Program. Alyx (who is named for Joanna Russ's unforgettable adventuress) is married to fellow Aurora winner Kelly Robson; the two were able to make their outlaw wedding of 1989 legal, in 2003, when the Canadian Supreme Court conferred full marriage equality on same sex couples. Alyx tells people she is bigendered, bisexual and bisectional. (The latter means she sings both alto and soprano.) Heiresses of Russ 2016 is her editorial debut.
