I used to associate “urban fantasy” with cool, mythically oriented authors like Charles de Lint. When did the label get taken over by the paranormal romance crowd? Ugh.
So, have you read Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordperson?
Just wondering, as the style of this post recalls those very funny stories.
I read the comments at your link — sounds like a fun read at the used-book price.
