DISTAFF: NOUNA staff used in spinning.Of women and women's work.An anthology of women's stories woven through time and space.In 2018 a crack team of women sci-fi writers, all members of the sffchronicles community forum, came together to write an anthology. Distaff is the result. Join us as we share stories of people, of science and exploration, and enjoy the words we weave. "I love good stories. Stories are as old as human relationships, They may be ourmost important invention. It's impossible to understand human society without anunderstanding of the power of stories. Well told, they bring us face to face withourselves, our fears, our hopes, and so much else that makes us human.Distaff is an anthology of well told stories by women for everyone. These storiesmake use of the unlimited settings available to Science Fiction writers. The womenbehind Distaff remind us of our humanity in entertaining and enjoyable ways." Douglas Van Aartsen"An eclectic collection of tales, each standing out well from the others. The themes are varied and flow very well. I was in particularly enamoured with Kerry Buchanan's story, a fine mix of space opera with a hint of Scandinavian folklore. While some of the themes are familiar to sci-fi fans none of the stories are predictable or boring. I had a great night drinking tea and reading them. Excellent reading for a commute to or from work, or a relaxing night with your feet up." - Steve Herron, Goodreads
