For MacAvoy, by all means read "Tea with the Black Dragon", a charming and original fantasy. It was nominated for the 1983 Nebula Award and 1984 Hugo Award, and got MacAvoy the 1984 John W. Campbell Award for best new writer, and the 1984 Locus Award for best first novel.

She doesn't just write fantasy: The Third Eagle is science fiction, and it tickled me to realize it was set in the Nashuite Empire of Alexie Panshin's wonderful "Anthony Villiers" adventures.
