Storm's lyrical, gothic writing style, mixed with bits of dry British humor, is as distinctive as her appearance.

Storm's first visit to the United States ever was for Dragon*Con '96, and she enjoyed her visit and the convention so much she returned again in 1997.

 Review: Storm Constantine's The Crown of Silence, reviewed by Erin Donahoe
Constantine delves into the different sources and views of magic, not so much how magic works but how each of her characters approaches magic, spiritually and religiously.
The elden which Constantine has in her story are clearly a version of fairies and elves of European folktales.
Though I cannot pinpoint precisely where, much of what she does feels overdone to me. The community of magi living in the forests, the tree and water spirits, the quests her heroes go on; they are all done in an elegant and interesting way, but feel too well known to become really exciting.

The writing Constantine uses is great, the pace is very good and she doesn't rely on a huge vocabulary to describe stuff, but great paragraphs of poetic writing.

This is a shared-world Wraeththu story based in Storm Constantine's realms and published by her Immanion Press imprint.
Storm continues the Wraeththu series after a nearly decade-long hiatus, and it -really- feels good to be "home." Wraiths is a more-than-worthy sequel to the first trilogy, Wraeththu (Tor/Orb), and I highly recommend reading Wraeththu before this, so you have a better "feel" for this new novel.
Storm Constantine, The Monstrous Regiment -- Very good; much better than I thought it would be from the back-cover blurb and online comments.
