<br />A very special collection of poems is being released into the world, like sun-bright bees zigging off to their meadows. <br /> <br /><a href="http://finedayscriptorium.blogspot.ca/">Casey June Wolf</a> is one of twenty authors represented in <a href="http://vimaambi.blogspot.ca/2017/02/your-death-full-of-flowers.html">Your Death Full of Flowers</a>, edited and translated into English and Spanish by Slippery Elm of <a href="http://www.swamplanternbooks.com/">Swamp Lantern Books</a>. <br /> <br />"The thread that ties this bouquet together is that of the story of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogion. A woman composed of flowers, who sought to kill her husband, and was thereby transformed into an owl. Blodeuwedd meaning flower-face, and the owl said to have been called blodeuwedd in the Welsh of yore. " <br /><br />

It’s a science-fantasy novel originally serialized in <i>Lightspeed Magazine</i> under the title, <i>The Kaslo Chronicles</i>. <br /><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD_M5T7BzWQQZG2SwHG6gcJNXn6Q_W7H4tzmQA7yqMfd8s9EDWw-VfgrtGIvMNwMPyuO2J5PFj7IhbZc2QUb1syq053NT8m8GEf7nWuwqbhHjfXEfQsImsRSyjROg64DgrVAXpEDwpZ-E/s1600/A-Wizards-Henchman-cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD_M5T7BzWQQZG2SwHG6gcJNXn6Q_W7H4tzmQA7yqMfd8s9EDWw-VfgrtGIvMNwMPyuO2J5PFj7IhbZc2QUb1syq053NT8m8GEf7nWuwqbhHjfXEfQsImsRSyjROg64DgrVAXpEDwpZ-E/s320/A-Wizards-Henchman-cover.jpg" width="229" /></a>Erm Kaslo is at the top of his game: a hardboiled confidential operative in the ultra-high-tech civilization of The Ten Thousand Worlds that spans the entire galactic arm known as The Spray. But the universe is about to arbitrarily change its fundamental operating premise from science to magic. Technology will cease to function and all of Kaslo’s hard-won skills and abilities will be useless.<br /><br /> As the change nears, a handful of would-be wizards are jockeying for position in the coming race for supremacy, squabbling over the few ancient books and paraphernalia that survive from the long-forgotten age when magic last ruled the cosmos. Kaslo goes to work for Diomedo Obron, a wealthy dilettante with more money than common sense who hopes to emerge as a powerful thaumaturge.<br /><br /> But there’s worse to come: an ancient evil has been biding its time for millennia, waiting for the age of science to end. Now, its moment finally arrived, it reaches out from another plane to strike with deadly force. And only Kaslo can stop it—if he can live long enough.<br /><br /> The novel is available in two editions: an unsigned, jacketed hardcover for £20 (US$27) and a signed, jacketed edition of 100 copies for £35 (US$46).

We think they have succeeded admirably. And with powerhouse writers, some known and others whom readers will find delightful discoveries, you will not be disappointed.

Here's a quote from Casey's story: <br />
<br />
Long afterward, when the dark, foggy afternoon had turned to a darker, moonless, still foggy night, and the horses’s shod hooves slipped across sheer rock and crunched over stones, I concentrated on hanging on to the saddle horn over the steepest bits and enjoying the cooling air, and the way the mountain breezes tangled with my hair. When I thought we’d gone as far as we could go for one night I still kept my counsel and rested on the strong, slow, hard-working body of my horse. I let my thoughts drift toward Vancouver, and back again to mother and dad, and finally skitter over to the edge of sleep. <br />
<br />
In that half-sleeping, half-waking state I popped in and out of dreams. Mostly my mother, ever a mystery, staring down at me, arms crossed, thinking. And a weird emanation of fog sort of flowing off of her like dry ice. Just a little at first, then more and more till she grew translucent and started to fade away. That’s when I’d jerk awake. She’d be gone, and I’d be swaddled in that ever-present fog.Eileen Kernaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03688791868644018160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946913946428566981.post-176579918387536912016-04-15T14:49:00.003-07:002016-04-15T14:49:50.171-07:00And more latest news<br />Nightshade Books has bought <b>Dave Duncan's</b> latest: a historical fantasy trilogy called 'The Enchanter General' " Dave notes that it was around this date in April that he made his first sale.

In the March <i>Locus</i>, Gardner Dozois reviews the January/February issue of <i>The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, </i>and singles out <b>Matt Hughes</b>' Raffalon story, “Telltale,” as “…the best of the issue’s fantasy stories.” He says, “Matthew Hughes gives us another story of Raffalon the Thief in ‘Telltale’, as Raffalon tries to reason his way out of another of the complex and very sticky magical situations he’s always getting himself entangled in, this one even more difficult to extricate himself from than usual."<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Eileen Kernaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03688791868644018160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946913946428566981.post-14163721134701834862016-01-17T09:04:00.000-08:002016-02-04T14:21:07.597-08:00Latest news<br />

<br /><b><i>The Final Catch: See Jane Charm : </i></b>A Tarot Sorceress Series Book by Rhea E Rose <br /> <br /> Jane Starr loves spas, serial dating and new age philosophy, and in particular she loves the guidance she gets from her Ouija board, especially after sipping several glasses of a decanted Cabernet.<br /><br />If a pedicure and a palm read came to her as a Groupon she'd start to purr, but her burgeoning OCD magical powers attract unwanted attention.<br /><br />Maisie Price, the town psychic and sorceress, has set up a sting to capture the unsuspecting Jane. <br /><br />Jane narrates her quirky and reluctant rise to becoming a powerful, sexy, tarot sorceress where all the characters have a bad date with destiny. <br /><br />This is book one in a hexology. Follow the antics of Jane Starr the reluctant obsessive compulsive witch as she attempts to rescue her missing magical cat and solve the mystery of returning escaped tarot characters back to the deck of cards they came from. <br /><br />See Jane charm, hex and spell her way out of Meadowvale's enchanted capers to recover Theodosia, her feline, and solve the riddle of the tarot deck. Who will be the final catch as <br />Jane risks her future with Devon Raker, a demi-demon who lives in the devil card; Emilia, the death dealer; Malcolm the shady magician; Justine, the town cop and enforcer, and Theodosia, Sia, for short, Jane's prized Cheshire kitten?<br /><br />
