description: Mary Frances Zambreno's stories of powerful, intuitive women have engaged readers young and old for over twenty years. Invisible Pleasures is a gathering of the best of her adult and young adult short fiction with four new stories for her fans. Queens, healers, witches, adventurers, students, young girls and others are the focus of these tales. Zambreno's protagonists are always pushed to the limit, finding their individual strength and resolve though adversity. Whether they occupy the author's home of Chicago or the worlds of fairie, their journeys take place in a hostile world, whose threats are conquered by clear thinking, intellect and courage. At their heart, Zambreno's stories are puzzles whose clever resolutions surprise and amaze the readers who have grown to love them. With a deft hand she misdirects, teaches and astounds in stories that flow as easily as water. American Fantasy is proud to publish this collection which we are sure will become one of your favorites.
