None are more memorable than her Witch World novels. Simon Tregarth, a man from our own world, escapes his doom through the gates to the Witch World. There he aids the witch Jaelithe's escape from the hounds of Alizon, only to find himself embroiled in a deeper war against an even deadlier foe: the Kolder.

From AudioFile:

Simon Tregarth, who has troubles in this world, jumps through a portal into a parallel universe known as the Witch World. In this society, with its complex relationships and disputes, he seems to find his true home. In the Witch World he's an anomaly--a male who has magical abilities. Nick Podehl's narration is smooth and well paced, and he maintains interest in long explicatory passages. His intensity ebbs and flows with the plot, rising appropriately when the battles ensue. In this first of an extensive series, a variety of people and creatures are introduced, providing Podehl with a range of characters to develop. J.E.M. � AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
