	The Official Barbara Hambly Page - Biography
		Barbara Hambly was born in the Naval Hospital of San Diego, California, on the 28th of August, 1951.
		Not too many years ago, Barbara Hambly could be defined as a fantasy author, but her very successful foray into historical mysteries has earned her a whole new set of mystery-loving fans.
		Currently, Barbara lives in Los Angeles (and I'll not speculate any further about the big ugly house part...except to say that the kitchen has now been redone) with cats, lizards, and two "of the cutest Pekinese in the world." Her mother might add that she takes care of said dogs when Barbara goes on vacation.

	Amazon.de: Sold Down the River: English Books: Barbara Hambly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Hambly's fiercely burning picture of the horrors of slavery inevitably overwhelms the specifics of the plot, but she evokes the period marvelously, piling detail upon detail to create a finely wrought portrait of the daily lives of slaves on the notorious Louisiana sugar plantations.
		Hambly has done her research, and her depictions of what slaves endured in nineteenth-century New Orleans are brutally realistic.
		Ms Hambly has used heat as a metaphor in all of the books of this series, but here the heat is man made, a hell of tiredness, of flame, of revenge,of love.

		Hambly has done her research and it shows, as she immerses the reader in chaotic Mexico City in 1835, months before General Santa Anna marched on Texas.
		Hambly takes the themes of her work, slavery and living in fear (themes she also explores in her fantasy novels which are also superb) and applies them to Mexico.
		Hambly is a brilliant writer who can generate an environment and believable characters and who has no pat answers to the situations she writes about.

	Bookreporter.com - DIE UPON A KISS by Barbara Hambly
		Hambly's books are so well-written and researched that it is almost impossible to resist the urge to drop everything and make the excursion to the Crescent City, to walk down the less-traveled streets of the Quarters while turning the pages of her latest books and tracing January's footsteps.
		Hambly has chosen with this novel to focus more on January's prowess as a musician, as a plot vehicle for moving the tale through early New Orleans.
		Hambly, with incremental steps, has been fashioning a treatise of the history and culture of New Orleans in the early 1830s and slipping it to her audience by osmosis.

		With this glorious finale to a breathtaking series, Barbara Hambly establishes herself as one of the most visionary and inventive storytellers in the field of fantasy fiction today.
		Dragonstar, by Barbara Hambly, is the conclusion to a series that never should have been.
		I have read that Barbara Hambly was going through a very tough personal time when she wrote the first two books in this series (Dragonshadow and Knight of the Demon Queen).

	Barbara Hambly: Grandiose murder in bayou country
		As always, Hambly's writing puts you on the rain-soaked bayous and vermin-filled streets of 1830s New Orleans, where you viscerally feel the injustices heaped upon slaves in the market and smell the vile conditions the poor live in.
		Hambly also plants some red herrings in the race to find who is skulking in the bayous, using historical places and even some people to weave her tale.
		In the end, it is a surprise when the real murderer and accomplices surface, yet a bit more of a struggle to get there than in her previous efforts.

	Amazon.fr : Wet Grave: Livres en anglais: Barbara Hambly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Hambly is terrifically effective in her portrayal of the squalid lives of the poor and enslaved and the contrasting opulence of the wealthy.
		Hambly's strong and unusual series tracking a largely unexplored period of American history should continue to please fans and attract new readers.
		Hambly appears to know the period inside out; her depiction of New Orleans' contradictions--beauty and squalor side by side--is almost visceral in its detail.

	Review: Barbara Hambly's Sisters of the Raven, reviewed by Christopher Cobb
		Hambly's handling of it, especially in her representation of the bereft and embittered mages, who medicate their loss with drugs, hatred, and charlatanry, draws on Ursula Le Guin's handling of the passing away of magic in The Farthest Shore.
		Hambly is certainly even-handed in presenting well-rounded characters of both genders.
		But Hambly leaves clear openings for future novels, and I for one would be happy to visit this world again, to see how this culture continues to adapt to the momentous changes she has envisioned for it.

	Amazon.fr : Traveling With the Dead: Livres en anglais: Barbara Hambly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The time is 1908, and biologist Lydia Asher is hot on the trail of her husband, James, a former spy and Oxford don who in turn is shadowing Charles Farren, the vampire Earl of Ernchester, and Farren's mortal traveling companion, the nefarious mercenary Ignace Karolyi.
		Although Hambly invests these vampire and mortal personages with the traditional values being threatened by an evolving modern Europe, her vivid portraits allow them to emerge as memorable personalities distinct from the viewpoints they represent.
		Hambly covers no ground that hasn't been explored in the historical vampire sagas of Anne Rice and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, but once again she uses familiar elements skillfully to tell an engrossing tale.

		When I reviewed Barbara Hambly's Sisters of the Raven, I mentioned how I would be disappointed if there was a sequel, because it seemed to end at the perfect place and didn't need a sequel.
		With Circle of the Moon, Hambly builds on everything that she created in the first book, giving a logical extension to the events there and writing a book that is almost better than its predecessor.
		Hambly once again gives us an extremely interesting society, where women are still treated as chattel but some women hold more power than many of the men.

	Barbara Hambly, The Darwath Trilogy
		One of the most original ideas in Barbara Hambly’s Darwath Trilogy is that this can be seen to hold true even for the users of that technology – or for their heirs, desperately trying to back-engineer their ancestors’ arts.
		Hambly is well known these days for her marvelous takes on both fantasy and historical fiction; in fact, her most recent novel is centered on Mary Todd Lincoln.
		The Darwath Trilogy is based firmly on classical fantasy tropes: enemies in the dark, enemies who are The Dark --intent on literally consuming humankind, ancient magic, unexpected love, unlikely heroes, desperate causes and a pair of 20th century adventurers tossed into an alternate universe to be the audience’s focus.

	Barbara Hambly -- All Books
		Hitherto, Hambly's books about Darwath, a world menaced by awakened malign sleepers and an ice age, have been classic portal fantasies, in which the emphasis is on two transplanted Californians, Gil and Rudy, who are learning to cope with a world of magic and swordplay.
		From Barbara Hambly, the bestselling author of "Those Who Hunt the Night", and respected editor Martin H. Greenberg comes this collection of 14 inventive and terrifying stories that immortalize the most mysterious, sensual and deadly women of all--female vampires.
		Barbara Hambly proved herself a triple-threat storyteller when she tackled the popular vampire genre with Those Who Hunt the Night, and created a bestseller.

		Although published when she was already an established author, Hambly's Dragonsbane is still well within the classic confines of sorcerous machinations, mysterious heirs, wise and wily dragons and other trusty denizens of fantasy - but none the worse for that.
		Hambly studied mediaeval history and it shows in Dragonsbane where life is seen as less Camelot than Grendel's lair with little glitz; glamour that is only that thrown by the sorcerers and the glitter revealed as grit.
		Barbara Hambly is obviously a diversely talented author - I intend reading lots more of her output just as soon as I can find it!

		While veteran writer Hambly doesn't subscribe to the admittedly entertaining shut-up-and-start-blasting school of Star Wars writing, her skilled characterizations and more literary stylings are a welcome addition to the fold.
		Hambly's previous work Children of the Jedi was repetative, convoluted and boring.
		Barbara Hambly has twice proven to be incapable of handling the reins of the Star Wars Universe.

		Somewhat of a departure for Barbara, this is an historical mystery set in 1833 New Orleans.
		This very nicely lets Barbara give a lot of information about the society of the time without hitting the reader over the head with large chunks of exposition.
		It also allows her to contrast the present society, being overran by the newcomer Americans, and the earlier days when the colored population of the city were much better off.

		It has been 13 years since Hambly concluded her popular Darwath Trilogy with The Armies of Daylight, and here, finally, is its sequel.

		Though Hambly tries to craft a portrait of Renfield as a tragic victim, his frequent references to Stoker's characters and their adventures only remind the reader that a more interesting vampire adventure is unfolding beyond the borders of Renfield's asylum and the events of this novel.
		Hambly is a superb story teller and does an excellent job with this alternate view of the Dracula story.
		Barbara Hambly does a brilliant job of recreating the saga with her unique voice.

		Barbara Hambly is a relatively unknown author, but her writing is excellent.
