George Alec Effinger recommends
Bone Music (1995)
Alan Rodgers
"The highest praise one writer can give another is to say 'I wish I'd written that book.' I would cheerfully trade my younger brother Rick, my collection of original Beatles cards, and any hope that my beloved Cleveland Indians will ever win a World Series to have written Alan Rodgers' Bone Music."
Songsmith (1992)
(Witch World : High Hallack Cycle, book 10)
A C Crispin and Andre Norton
"Andre Nortton and A C Crispin are giants in the field of fantasy, and SONGSMITH combined the best of their strengths."
