is to feature books I read 20 years ago - in 1993- from the records I
have in my "little green book", which I started in 1975.In 1993 I read 111 books and was pretty well addicted to crime fiction by then
Kate Wilhelm is an author that I read in 1993, but I doubt that I have read any more although she continues to write, and some of her more recent offerings appear to fit the crime fiction genre.
In October 1993 I read CHILDREN OF THE WIND, which is not really crime fiction.
Synopsis from Amazon, where it is now available for Kindle
In 'Children of the Wind', identical twins J-1 and J-2 play subtle games with their parents' lives. Are the boys just precocious, or are they far more strange - and powerful? 'The Gorgon Field' finds Charlie and Constance caught in a mystery of mystical proportions in the Arizona desert. 'A Brother to Dragons, a Companion of Owls' depicts a future in which survival may not be merely enough - it may be too much, whilst 'The Blue Ladies' studies a disabled woman's abilities to share his vision. 'The Girl Who Fell Into the Sky', winner of the Nebula Award for best novelette, weaves a dreamy tale of love, death and an old piano amid the Kansas plains.
These five tales present luminous, absorbing visions of the world as it could be and as it is.
However, more recent titles like THE PRICE OF SILENCE and SKELETONS do appear to be crime fiction.
