What if you were mage-born but no one alive could teach you how to use the Magic and you had never seen nor heard a spell invoked? Would you give up everything you have – your inheritance, your family and friends – for a chance to learn how to be a wizard? The novelette Finding Magic, a winner of the Paul B. Duquette Memorial Short Science Fiction Contest, appears in the anthology CrossTIME Science Fiction Anthology Vol. 2, available from amazon.com or ask for it at your local bookstore (ISBN #1890109053). |

The Books: Wizards' Daughters Master Wizard Ilyana gave up a year for the first Magic gem. The second almost cost her her life and Ship's Master Rath barely survives to bring her the third. Now, the fourth stone puts their children in danger. Is Ilyana's Magic strong enough to wrest that stone from the daughter of her nemesis? Heart's Blood Jarrodon, a Leerian stonemason, believes fate expects him to marry the Wizard of Meech. Will he win her love or cause her to lose her Power? He must overcome betrayal, banishment, and death to gain a Wizard's heart and fulfill his destiny. Revenge & Prophecy Before Ilyana brought the Magic back to Lowor's four towers, only she knew how to use its power. Then Glaud discovered the evil Magic of Ilyana's ancestor who murdered Lowor's legitimate wizards. With the aid of the ship's master who saved her life, she gathers the weapons she needs to confront Glaud. Still, he almost kills her and her love, despite his own injuries, must race against time to save her life. Beyond the Czelgian Mountains With nothing to live for in Lowor, Ilyana's only son, Dosen, risks his life, his ship, and the lives of his crew to learn what's on the other side of the impassible Czelgian Mountains. Sailing around the mountains destroys the ship his grandfather built. What Dosen discovers on the other side only leaves him desperate to find a way home. The Journey Home Rather than spend the rest of their lives as outsiders in a hated society they cannot understand, Ilyana's son and his crew set out to conquer the Czelgian mountains no one has crossed in generations. But the Magic protecting their home proves deadlier than the technology of the land that they flee. |
