Actually, when she first did that, it was more for commercial reasons than aesthetic. In those days, Ace Books (the original imprint for the Lindholm books) and Bantam (the Hobb publisher) were somewhat at odds. She told me at one convention in the 80's or early 90's that the reason was almost entirely financial. Anyway, the Lindholm books are NOT all contemporary fantasy. Only THE WIZARD OF THE PIGEONS was...not books like THE LIMBRETH GATE, HARPY'S FLIGHT, and THE WINDSINGERS.
