GREEN, Sharon

(1942-)

   US writer who came to notice for her Terrilian Sequence of sadomasochistic novels in the manner of John NORMAN, with which the advertising copy explicitly linked them. The sequence is The Warrior Within (1982), The Warrior Enchained (1983), The Warrior Rearmed (1984),The Warrior Challenged (1986) and The Warrior Victorious (1988); they differ from Norman's in being set on a more plausible planet. Other series directed to the same market include the Jalav/Amazon Warrior sequence - The Crystals of Mida (1982), An Oath to Mida (1983), Chosen of Mida(1984), The Will of the Gods (1985) and To Battle the Gods (1986) - and the Diana Santee, Spaceways Agent sequence: Mind Guest (1984) and Gateway to Xanadu (1985). The Far Side of Forever sequence - The Far Side of Forever (1987) and Hellhound Magic (1989) - is more traditional fantasy.Other titles include Lady Blade, Lord Fighter (1987), projected to initiate a series, The Revel Prince (1987), Mists of the Ages (1988), also projected to start a series, and Dawn Song (1990), No Haven for the Guilty (1990), Silver Princess, Golden Knight (1993) and The Hidden Realms(1993).
