Chim+Her and Chim+Him were two separate titles originally published through Cyber Pulp Press of Houston. They showed how much fun one can have in collaboration with another writer of either sex. Where there were three collabs with each of the writers in the original books, here I’ve chosen the very best collaborations from each book. Collaborations with Destiny West, Queenie Tirone, Dawn Andrews, Brutal Dreamer, Charlee Jacob, Amy Grech, Christina Sng, Alex Severin, Simon Logan, Mark McLaughlin, Vincent Sakowski, Greg Wharton, John Edward Lawson, D.F. Lewis and M.F. Korn.

"review from Diana Bennett" (when CHIM+HER was a separate book, Diana wrote this Midwest Book Review) There are some things we are not supposed to bring up in conversation, much less write a story about. Says who? Apparently I am not the only one who asks that question with vehement repulsion at the limits placed upon my words. Chim+Her snickers at the taboos and greets them head on. Who else but one of my favorite modern authors, Hertzan Chimera could take this on? Answer Hertzan and a select group of eight extremely talented and extremely passionate female writers: Charlee Jacobs, Alex Severin, Amy Grech, Destiny West, Brutal Dreamer, Dawn Andrew, Queenie Tirone and Christina Sng. People constantly claim that they don't want to hear about certain things however when we have news stories, which contain these topics, it is aired over and again. More often than not with those who claim opposition glued to the television. Why is that? Quite simple, each and every person has... More > a darker side. A side that they often try to repress but that cannot be totally shut out. This is made very clear by the phenomenon known as rubbernecking. That said, when you are ready to face life's more shunned taboos, Chim+Her will gladly throw them in your face, in a way that is not only disturbing but highly entertaining, and in my opinion much more healthy than viewing the news, as these stories deal with fiction and no humans were harmed for your entertainment pleasure. Kudos to all the collaborators for laying it on the table as only a woman (and Hertzan) could do.< Less
