Hands of the Morri
Heather O'Malley
When Nib’s human is abused by his father because of his gender and runs off with an all-female group of warriors called the Hands, Nibs is worried and takes flight to follow. Someone has to keep the young man out of trouble.
However, trouble finds them. Discovering she is a Lost Sister and growing acquainted with her new body, the now renamed Asche learns how to be a warrior and commune with the Goddess the Hands serve, the Morri. Asche works hard on her steel so she can be truly strong, and as the motto for the Hands goes, forge herself anew.
That found strength will be tested as the Hands discover they are being targeted by Slavers and must defend their village in a Holy war. Battling against bandits and the God supporting them, Nibs isn’t sure all Asche’s training will be enough to save her.

Wearing Cheese and Casting Shadows
Kaye O'Malley
Fans of the show Buffy know that Joss Whedon said the Cheese Man from "Restless" didn't mean anything. This author believes otherwise. "Wearing Cheese and Casting Shadows" is a Jungian exploration of cheese as a representation of the characters' Shadow-selves.
Focusing on the four main characters, O'Malley discusses the formation of their Shadow aspects and their personal journeys to recognize and understand it.
Originally a Masters' thesis, this book includes a lot of references and sources from other fan-academics, more ideas to add to your fandom reading list!
