Dragon Moon
Cass Dunreith drives a VW GTi, lives in Brooklyn, and makes her living writing comic books. But once a year she becomes Lady Siobhan, renowned far and wide for her bravery and skill. On a massive campground in Pennsylvania, her medieval fantasy society holds its annual summer War. Here, as always, Cass will wander among the colorful participants dressed in medieval garb - jugglers, peddlers, courtesans, artisans, and knights - enjoying a delightful respite in a world of make-believe, culminating in a mock battle. But this year the fantasy will become a grim reality when an implacable army of gray-faced horsemen from the mists of Celtic legend is unleashed on the weekend warriors. Suddenly Cass finds herself in a world where the swords have real edges and people can die - and only one person stands between fantasy and a bloodbath: herself.

I kept thinking the story would transition to a fantasty realm, but it didn't. It stayed in a "modern normal realm" but added mysticism. It was an enjoyable surprise. The book is an easy read.

I have read both the hardcopy and the kindle version of this book.
The first time I read this book, back in the 90's, I absolutely loved it. It has a lot of my vibes. I absolutely love the gritty, unapologetic way they have of telling a story. I don't need a sugar-coating. What surprised me, was reading the kindle version of this book. I hadn't realized that the kindle version of this story had been edited. For example, the mention of iPods and memory cards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but iPods and camera memory cards didn't really exist back in the early 90's(when I first read this). Having said that, I still enjoyed the story. I was a bit taken aback to encounter these changes, but, essentially, the story was the same. I will not hold it against the author/s for trying to make the story a bit more 'contemporary', but I really hadn't thought that was necessary. In other words: "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
There were only about 2 or 3 references made to uber-modern technological devices. Nothing special, but enough to jar me out of the story just a teensy bit, and then only because I had read the story first about...my gosh...almost 20 yrs ago and so had...different expectations. O.O Has it been that long? Really?
So, I don't mind if a few inconsequential details are changed. If I want to read the story without the changes, I'll just pick up a hardcopy. New readers would not have this problem, though. I would highly recommend either version of this story.
