 Science Fiction Book Reviews
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's Channeling Cleopatra is a bright and funny read, the sort of book that insists its audience move through its plot at a breakneck pace.
Its particular strength is the character of Duke, a 72-year-old cut-up who bangs along in a good-tempered state of arrested development, chasing women and lusting after particularly sharp motorcycles and aircraft, all while zealously guarding his daughter and the dangerous loot she is seeking.
Scarborough gleefully mixes this flimsy science with the stuff of psychic fantasy—astral projection and prophecy.

 Beadtime Stories home page of Elizabeth Ann Scarborough juan.htm
Leda and the scientists behind the discovery of blending find themselves dumped by Nucor Helix, the company that owns the technology, just as fellow archaeologist Dr. Gabriella Faruk blends her DNA with another sample of Cleopatra's DNA to create a second modern-day Cleopatra to assist in translating the scrolls and papyri from Cleo's tomb.
Scarborough keeps the story moving at a breathless pace through the distinctive voices of Leda and here Cleopatra.
The DNA-blending concept is fascinating and it is particularly intriguing that the two women share the same bit of Cleopatra's DNA but end up with different aspects of the queen's personality.

We became friends when she visited Fairbanks and I took her out to see the Northern Lights and for a dogsled ride and moose spaghetti at the home of my friends, the Melchiors.
My Grandma Scarborough and Aunt Virginia Spillman had a beadwork business out of their chicken coop in western Kansas making moccasins and purses with Indian symbols beaded on them, sort of like Minnetonka only a bit more hand made.
Other people were becoming artists and hippies when I was busy nursing in the army, so now that other people have settled down to work real jobs, or (ahem, considering my age) retiring from them, I'm going through my artistic phase.

Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's Scarborough Faire and Other Stories collects nine stories by this Nebula Award-winning author (The Healer's War), including "Mummies of the Motorway," "Worse Than the Curse" and "A Rare Breed." Though all were written for theme anthologies, each shares another inspiration, as the author explains in her introduction.
Variety being, however, Scarborough's spice of choice, the town bearing her name is the heart of "Mummies of the Motorway" as well as the title story.
Each tale entertains the audience who will agree on how astonishingly well Elizabeth Ann Scarborough blends the whimsical and otherworldly into the "realistic" in her telling of pleasant stories.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Channeling Cleopatra
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough wrote the Nebula Award-winning novel The Healer's War.
Leda soon finds herself caught up in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, from which she'll be lucky to escape with her life.
The concept of the blending does require some willing suspension of disbelief; and Scarborough doesn't dwell on the darker aspects of combining two minds in one body, choosing instead a lighter treatment of personality adjustment difficulties and the disparity between modern and ancient world views.

Abandoned in space as a baby, and raised by three young space prospectors, Acorna - the unicorn girl - has at last found her own kind, the telepathic and sensitive "Linyaari".
I was instantly charmed by the young girl who they called "Acorna" in the first book, and after I had finished that book, waited for the sequel which had been promised.
I have always loved Anne's work, and, though I had not yet read her Scarborough collaboration, the Paytabe series, I am quite pleased with Elisabeth's contributions, which are admittably harder to spot than Margret Ball's in the first two novels - A tribute to their ability to work as a team.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Godmother's Web
As she did in the first two novels in this series, (The Godmother and The Godmother's Apprentice), Elizabeth Ann Scarborough skillfully blends the folklore of different cultural traditions to create the backdrop for a modern story.
Scarborough's modern characters don't seem to notice that their lives are mirroring the legends of those who have gone before, although you will certainly recognize tales from European and Native American traditions.
Perhaps we should all remember that our folklore exists to teach us something, and that if we pay attention we can choose to follow the path of Good as we create the next generation of myths.

 Review of FIRST WARNING: ACORNA'S CHILDREN by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough
Khorii is traveling with her parents when they run into first a derelict space cruiseship, and then get word of a plague that is ripping through the galaxy.
Authors Anne McCaffrey (see more reviews of novels by McCaffrey) and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough (see more reviews of novels by Scarborough) use the Acorna series to attempt to help teen and pre-teen readers discover the magic of SF.
It seems to me, however, that McCaffrey and Scarborough (both wonderful writers who have created some of the most powerful fantasy available today) go too far in simplifying their writing and simplifying the plot.

 Blogcritics.org: Book Review: Changelings by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough
Changelings is the first book in a new trilogy about the sentient planet Petaybee (McCaffrey and Scarborough collaborated on an earlier trilogy featuring the planet and its residents a decade ago).
Meanwhile, the planet is intentionally rearranging itself in an effort to create land mass above sea level (a process characterized by McCaffrey and Scarborough as akin to childbirth whenever the subject arises, which is relatively frequently).
When Sean disappears while investigating some underwater phenomenon, Yana and the kids have to come to the rescue, with the aid of some river and sea otters and a few other folks as well.
