Author Spotlight: Lisa

I chose Lisafer for this issue's Spotlight because she's an author who covers all bases and both worlds, with a strong POTS-flavour, conveniently in line with the Bookclub theme. Lisa has such a great way with characters and situations, and always teaches me new ways of looking at things. I've only listed a few of her fics here, but thoroughly recommend them all.
1.
Title: Sanctions
Rating: PG
Summary: When Lord Wyldon and Squire Owen pass through Cavall, Margarry has some things to discuss with her father.
Because: Margarry and Owen make a charming couple, and it's a delightful minor-character driven fic. Plus, it's always a bonus to have Owen and Wyldon interaction.

2.
Title: If Only
Rating: PG
Summary: While waiting in the Chapel of the Ordeal, Maura reflects on her association with Joren.
Because: Too often, fics gloss over the bad boy aspects. Lisa showcases Joren in all his glory, particularly those character flaws that affected his Ordeal.

Title: Gifts of Warmth
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A Jon/Alanna piece, set during the time of ITHOTG. Jon tries to get Alanna to face the notion of love.
Because: I first read this fic long before I got to know Lisa, and it's one that has stayed firmly with me. It's such a great depiction of why this relationship worked the way it did.

Title: A Time of Confidences
Rating: PG
Summary: After Kel earns her shield, she and Neal have a nice long chat about their friendship.
Because: It shows Kel and Neal working their way back to being friends - but, as always with Kel, she retains the natural impulse to conceal more than she reveals.

Title: Thorns in her Flesh
Rating: R
Summary: An account of Rosethorn's life and loves through her period at Winding Circle.
Because: I'd never liked the one-sentence fics before this. It's fluid and exquisitely captures the different facets of Rosethorn.
