Summary2002 PRISM AWARD Winner:
1st place - FANTASY
A high-spirited fantasy romp, wickedly funny and filled
with action.
Shannon Parker, a 35-year-old English teacher, purchases a
vase because it depicts a Celtic goddess who looks
astonishingly like her. On the drive home, the vase
releases a force that flings Shannon into Partholon, an
alternate dimension in which everything Shannon knows as
mythology -- is reality. She finds she has exchanged places
with the High Priestess of Epona who, unfortunately, is an
evil not to mention totally oversexed person. In addition
to performing Epona's rituals and struggling with her
Beauty-and-the-Beast attraction to a handsome centaur,
Shannon finds she must combat the Fomorians, a vampiric
race of demonic humanoids. As Partholon readies for war,
Shannon must use all her resources to survive in this
strange new world. Not even ten years of dealing with
teenagers in the classroom has prepared her for becoming a
goddess by mistake.
