	Huff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Huff: A non-standard unit of measure that is expressed in pie.
		If one Huff is equal to two pie, then 2 Huffs equal 6 pie.
		The reasoning behind this goes back to the law of physics known as “The Huff Law” Which states that any where there is more than one pie, you can find a Huff.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Wizard of the Grove
		Tanya Huff worked at Bakka, Canada's oldest SF and fantasy book store, for many years.
		Like Gaiman's Death, Huff's Death is a being who serves primarily as a gatherer of the souls of the dead -- nothing vengeful or evil about it, it's just what he was born to do.
		Huff also displays a good, if sometimes subtle, sense of humour in all her works.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		Huff's flair for battle scenes and her clarity in visual descriptions support the action quite well.
		But Huff throws away the intriguing nature of Big Yellow (akin to the deadly labyrinth in Robert Silverberg's The Man in the Maze) by refusing ever to bring the aliens onstage or disclose their motives.
		Huff explicitly tries to gloss over the lack of results with some face-saving talk in the final pages of the book, making it seem as if heroism triumphed.

	Article: What Little Girls Are Made Of: An Interview with Tanya Huff, by Ahmed A. Khan
		Tanya Huff was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1957 but spent most of her life in Ontario.
		When I met Tanya Huff for the first (and so far the only) time at the Ad Astra 2002 SF Convention in Toronto, I took the opportunity to ask for an email interview.
		Tanya Huff: I've been a voracious reader all my life and I was always a story-teller.

	Tanya Huff Reviews
		Huff is a superlative talent who brings freshness and excellence to all of her work, also adding a depth of characterization that greatly enhances the appeal of her inventive fantasy novels.
		Huff is one of the best writers we have at contemporary fantasy, particularly with a supernatural twist, and her characters are almost always the kind we remember later, even when the plot details have faded away.
		Huff's characerization and knowledge of military subculture bring the book to a suspense-filled and rousing finale once again allowing Torin Kerr to shine in her role as the touch, resourceful and surpremely competant leader.

	Boing Boing: Tanya Huff talk at University of Toronto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Tanya Huff, a wonderful Canadian science fiction, fantasy and horror writer, is giving a talk at the University of Toronto on Oct 21:
		Tanya used work at Bakka, Toronto's wonderful science-fiction bookstore, which I haunted as a kid (and worked at in my early 20s).
		Tanya read it while I hung around at the back of the shop, looking at the used books, and then, in between selling books to customers, gave me an afternoon-long lecture on what I was doing right and how to learn to do the stuff I didn't know how to do yet.

	Amazon.com: Fifth Quarter (Daw Book Collectors): Books: Tanya Huff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Huff attempted to do something new with gender by pushing a male into a female's body (actually, a brother and sister are sharing her body).
		Huff continues in the world she started in "Sing the Four Quarters" but with a new set of characters.
		The beginning is a bit disconcerting as we traveled through Huff's last book with bards and kigh in a completely different kingdom (Shkoder instead of the Empire), and so it takes a bit of readjustment to get settled into this part of the world and the way it works.

	sffworld.com - Tanya Huff
		It isn't as good to me, and Huff is a bit bland compared to LKH, but it is a similar idea.
		Probably the main difference is that the supernatural creatures in Huff's world are all still hidden, and officially don't exist.
		Huff is very good in mixing adventure, comedy and romance.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Blood Debt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Huff provides her readers with an intriguing and exciting mystery to solve, set amidst the ever-changing and always interesting love triangle of Vicki, Henry, and Mike.
		I wished for a happier ending for Henry and Vicki (the couple I was rooting for through all five books), but Huff at least leaves her readers with the impression that things will work themselves out in the years to come.
		Tanya Huff is a very talented writer with a vibrant imagination and I cannot recommend this series enough.

	Vampire library of Darkness : Blood price, Tanya Huff
		Blood Price is the first of Tanya Huff's five novels about Vicki Nelson, the private investigator who hooks up with a vampire to solve supernatural mysteries.
		Vicki is a former Toronto homicide detective who left the force when her eyesight began to deteriorate due to retinitis pigmentosa.
		The romance writing is an especially nice touch and reflects the quirky humor evident in her writing.

	FA: Tanya Huff Blood Debt Blood Price Vampire Fantasy vg 6-27 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Huff has created an intriguing group of main characters and set them in the midst of a suspenseful and well-written mystery.
		The chemistry Huff develops between Vicki and Henry is electric, and I can't wait to see what develops between them in later books.
		The story is filled with suspenseful brushes with death and chilling scenes of undiluted evil, but Huff skilfully blends these with some very funny moments to keep the tone from getting too dark.

	Tanya Huff, Fifth Quarter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Although Tanya Huff's Fifth Quarter is set in the same world as her Sing the Four Quarters, it does not follow the same characters and is set not only years after the events in the previous book but also in the Havorkeenan Empire, bordering on Shkodar where Four Quarters is set.
		In spite of their difficult straits, there is plenty of humor to season the fast-paced plot, and the horror of the zombies is both tempered and intensified by the madman's lonely motives.
		The characterizations are both compelling and convincing as Huff allows them to develop naturally, shoring up the character developments with neatly and inconspicuously inserted background material.

	Tanya Huff, Wizard of the Grove (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Wizard of the Grove brings Tanya Huff's first novels Child of the Grove (DAW, 1988) and The Last Wizard (DAW, 1989) together into one volume.
		Both books are laced with humor, as if Huff refuses to take herself or the fantasy genre too seriously.
		Lord Death is not only intriguing, he seems to be a precursor for Henry Fitzroy in Huff's vampire novels featuring private investigator Vicky Nelson.

	Vampire library of Darkness : Blood pact, Tanya Huff
		The unexpected death of her mother and the even more distressing disappearance of the body drive private investigator Vicki Nelson to the end of her resources as she attempts to uncover a dark conspiracy while battling with her private grief.
		Huff's fourth fantasy/mystery featuring Nelson and her vampire partner, Henry Fitzroy, explores the borders of death and beyond with an intensity that is only partially lightened by touches of ironic humor.
		Written with the author's usual flair for realistic fantasy, this title is recommended for most fantasy and horror collections.

	Smoke and Shadows by Tanya Huff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Smoke and Shadows, the first novel in an exciting trilogy by Tanya Huff, features the main characters from the author's wildly popular Blood quintet (Blood Price, Blood Trail, etc.): Tony Foster, a gay reformed street punk, and Henry Fitzroy, a 450-year-old vampire prince.
		An appealing mix of fantasy, horror, romance, and mystery, Huff's story succeeds because it doesn't take itself too seriously and even revels in poking fun at contemporary supernatural icons as well as mainstream science fiction and fantasy.
		Huff's biting (no pun intended) sense of humor makes this a highly entertaining page-turner.

	SS > SF > book reviews > Tanya Huff
		This is much closer to Tanya Huff's 'voice' than its precursor CotG: the story of the wizard Crystal, the mortals Raulin and Jago, the giant Sokoji, the dwarf Doan, and of Lord Death, is less self-consciously mythic, and much more a tale of (extra)ordinary people.
		As ever, Tanya Huff manages to infuse her story all the way through with tension, drama, humour, real characters with moral dilemmas, and unexpected plot twists.
		Tony is an engaging character in his own right, and there's all the characteristic Huff style of wisecracking comments about popular culture, a wry appreciation of what it would really be like if these sort of events happened in the everyday world, mixed in with a real sense of doom, danger, and darkness.

	Amazon.co.uk: Smoke and Shadows: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Tanya Huff always writes a good story, and this one is exciting and gripping enough.
		The trouble for me was that, although Tony is a nice boy, as a central character I did not find him as enthralling as some of Huff's other characters, I found myself waiting impatiently for the bits where Henry reappears.
		One of Huff's great strenghts has always been her creation of strong, interesting female characters, but Arra seemed to me somewhat shadowy (sorry).

	BookkooB: Sing the Four Quarters - Tanya Huff
		Unfortunately The Fifth Quarter, the sequel, is not nearly as good as Sing the Four Quarters, but in both book Tanya Huff holds the tension and the story is never really predictable.
		Tanya Huff, I must say, is in a class of her own.
		Tonya Huff's Sing the Four Quarters is a breath of fresh air amidst all the garbage predominant in fantasy novels these days.

	Tanya Huff: Summon the Keeper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Claire must cope with a lecherous ghost in the attic, a hole to Hell in the basement, and an elevator in between that doesn't always let you out into the same world from which you entered.
		There's a very dusty woman in room 6 who's been asleep since 1945; and if she ever wakes up, the world will come to a very unpleasant end.
		Huff's characterization leans a bit too far toward caricature, which gives the story an unfortunate sitcom feel.

	Tanya Huff, Summon The Keeper, and The Second Summoning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Most people don't realize it, but the veil separating our world from the countless, unimaginable horrors of Hell is a thin one, often frayed almost to the point of breaking, and very little stands between us and horrible, messy deaths, or worse.
		From the strengths of these first two novels, it's clear that Tanya Huff has here a series that rivals her Vicky Nelson Blood books.
		Claire and Austin are the perfect odd couple team, bickering and arguing their way to victory, with Dean acting as an anchor to reality for them both.

		Tanya Huff writes a series of novels focusing on the adventures of Victoria Nelson, a former Toronto police officer suffering from a disease that has left her almost completely "nightblind"--lacking in night vision.
		Turned private detective so she can set her own hours and work in daylight, she encounters Henry Fitzroy, an illegitimate son of King Henry VIII of England who is a vampire and a romance novelist.
		Neither good, nor bad, neither angel nor devil, he is a man, he is a vampire.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Better Part of Valor: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the tradition of Robert Heinlein and other great Masters of SF Space Opera, Huff delivers a rollicking yarn and a fine sequel to her earlier "Zulu" inspired "Valor's Choice".
		As always, Huff's female protagonists are strong, assertive and incredibly witty.
		Since I started reading Ms Huff's books, 16 in all, I have come to love this writer; her books are funny as well as full of pathos, and this last book is proof of it.

		The angel is a young male, and the demon is a young girl, both with raging hormones.
		It was hard to believe that Huff could get any more humouress in her writing, but she did in this book.
		Austin's dry humour is infectious and how the young angel and demon try to deal with their human bodies is hilarious.

	Tanya Huff, Long Hot Summoning
		Not only is Diana fleshed out a lot more as she takes the spotlight, but Sam and Austin both get enough screen time to really shine, and Huff captures the personalities of the cats perfectly.
		New ally Kris is a welcome addition, especially as her worldly view and no-nonsense attitude make her a nice contrast to the portrayal of the Keepers.
		I wish Huff had taken ten or twenty more pages to flesh out the very ending on a more graceful note.
