And if you think they’re just male wish-fulfillment fantasies, you’d better say it under your breath and out of their earshot, because these barbarian babes were born to battle.

 Esther Friesner, editor, The Chick is in the Mail
The Chick is in the Mail is editor Esther Friesner's fourth collection of stories starring feisty females and a cover featuring a warrior woman whose barely visible means of support couldn't possibly comprise sufficient bronze to coat adequately a baby shoe.
In Esther Friesner's ticklish "Troll by Jury," a retired swordsister and her companions get involved in a plethora of problems when they attend a girl's coming-of-age ceremony.
Friesner's flair for just the right timing and turn of phrase is flawless, and the reader can see just why she is so good at compiling these anthologies.

 Esther Friesner: Child of the Eagle
Esther Friesner's Child of the Eagle: A Myth of Rome begins the night before Julius Caesar's assassination.
Friesner never really manages to clarify how much time has past, the reader, therefore, spends the beginning of each chapter trying to figure out whether a day or a decade has past since the previous chapter.
Although Friesner's intentions become clear rather quickly at this point, she manages to tell this part of the story in an interesting way, as Brutus has, by now, begun to question the use of assassination and murder.

 Geometry.Net - Authors Books: Friesner Esther
Friesner's style and ability to bring humor into a situation will leave you wondering how long it will take you to get a few more of her books.
Not only will the reader quite possibly be in tears from laughter, but he or she should come away from this book with a sense of having read something meaningful as well as entertaining.
Friesner does a marvelous job of combining the elements of romance and fantasy into one to create this not-quite-storybook tale.

Friesner is well known and I've always enjoyed her work in the past), but because of the subject matter.
Friesner obviously "got" the Bajorans far sooner than I did, and wrote an excellent novel that combines elements of faith, philosophy and morality (along with the SFDS9 mythos) with adventure and gets more than the sum of its parts.
Friesner also managed to cram in a very credible, though understated, romance for Julian Bashir, not an easy task.

 Split Heirs
Esther's idea involved certain superstitions about twins, a clash between barbarians and a decadent civilization, and the notion of raising a girl as a barbarian prince.
Anyway, by the end of lunch we had a shapeless mass of ideas that needed to be assembled, we had the rough framework of a plot to hang them on, and we'd missed a signing we were supposed to do at the convention.
Most of Esther's contributions delighted me. I had mild reservations about one or two bits of what I considered excessive violence, but most of it was sparkling and funny, and getting to read it and then respond in the next installment was some of the most fun I've ever had writing.

If Esther Friesner can write something like this, why is she wasting her time on Chicks in Chainmail?
Friesner doesn't have an "expository lump" to tell the reader what the society is like, but relies on the reader picking up on the details as they are given as part of the story.

 ★ Reviews for Friesner,_Esther_M.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Esther Friesner is at her irreverent best skewing the universe with classic short stores like "How To Make Unicorn Pie", "In the Realm of Dragons", and "Jesus at the Bat", etc. The only new story "Illion" is atypical of Ms.
Friesner as this takes a more somber tone than usual as the author provides her perspective to 9/11.
The uniqueness of this collection is the writer's ability to wink at the genre for its excessive rigid formulaic characters and themes yet also parody modern society in the same story.

 Esther M. Friesner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Previously, I had always been put off Friesner's novels by the fact that they had 'amusing' titles like HOORAY FOR HELLYWOOD and seemed to be attempting to masquerade as Pratchett clones.
To be fair, my opinion was speculative, biased and highly personal, but if YESTERDAY had instead been called HERE BE DRAG QUEENS and featuring a recognisably Josh Kirbyesque cover I would have assumed it was a stinker, or at least not my cup of tea.
YESTERDAY WE SAW MERMAIDS is a line from the diary of Christopher Columbus' first voyage to the Americas and though I doubted it was possible, Esther M. Freisner has done justice to that wondrous succession of words.

It would appear that Esther M Friesner is only writing this book to pay the rent.
Once those pages are out of the way it soon becomes apparent that Ms Friesner's writing style is both engaging and funny.
As such it works well and Ms Friesner must be congratulated on writing for those that don't, on the whole, like to read.

From archive (archive) From: granger@cg-atla.UUCP (Pete Granger) Organization: Agfa Compugraphic Division Subject: Esther Friesner's "Sphynxes Wild" Date: 1 Feb 89 03:48:01 GMT While attending a panel at Boskone last weekend, I heard Esther Friesner talking about her latest book, "Sphynxes Wild".
I got the impression that it had something to do with some or all of her previous books, "New York by Knight", "Druid's Blood", and "Elf Defense".
Obviously it's a humor which appeals to some people, because I've heard good things about this book, but three chapters about a kingdom in which nobody has the brains of a radish were all I could handle.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (March 2005 /) - In the March 2005 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, I review some wonderful stories by Albert E. Cowdrey, Al Michaud, Charles Coleman Finlay, Thomas M. Disch, Carol Emshwiller, Gary W. Shockley and Esther M. Friesner.
by Esther M. Friesner starts out as an epistolary tale about a young girl meeting English Regency Society but with just one word (which I won?t give away) you know this is going in a very strange direction.
Well, in the March 2005 issue of Asimov?s Science Fiction, Friesner shows with "The Fraud", that she can write a great serious story, too.
