Two Great Reviews for Myths Untold: Faery

by
Hearts on Fire

Just in – Two new reviews of “Myths Untold: Faery”. First, a four star review from Hearts on Fire: Very well written stories and as this is book one, the stories are left with cliff hangers – so for those who don’t like those types of endings, you may want to wait until book two comes out! I’d say The Pwcca and the Persian Boy and The Changeling are my favorite stories from this collection, they both had an element of mystery and new adventures to them that appealed to me and I really wanted to keep going with both … Read more

Interview: Anyta Sunday, Author of Locked

by

A curse threatens the Winter Kingdom. A brother is turned to ice.  A rebel uprising is on the horizon. Marble-maker Rye Cunnings is at the center of it all—and doesn’t know it. He doesn’t know he’s the lost summer prince. Doesn’t know his blood can unlock Winter’s curse. Doesn’t know why the marbles he makes flutter with magic. All he thinks is that he’s crazy. That he sees things others don’t, like dragons and strange markings on his skin. But when a dark dragon snatches away Rye’s only friend Milo, he is forced to face the crazy in his life and figure … Read more

by
Scott

Hey all, We’re closing out the Queer Sci Fi Flash Fiction contest, and we’re about to get to the fun part – reading all the great entries that were submitted by y’all. We have 166 in all, from a great variety of writers and covering the LGBTIQA spectrum and the full gamut of speculative fiction themes. Well, I assume they do. You see, I haven’t actually read any of them yet. I am very careful not to do so before we start the judging, as I am compiling the file. We judge these stories blind – without knowing the author … Read more

Cia Nordwell Reviews Myths Untold: Faery

by
Cia Nordwell

Just in – a great review from Cia Nordwell: – here’s what she said about the anthology, and my story, “Through the Veil”.: Would that I could pick a favorite out of these stories in the anthology. They span a mix of contemporary fantasy, futuristic fantasy, pure fantasy, and fairy tale. I loved that each of these authors created faeries that fit their story structure… The writing is uniformly well done, every story is unique and intriguing in its own way. No matter what flavor of faery you usually prefer, you’ll fall in love with every incarnation in this anthology. … … Read more

Point of View: The Balance

by
Scott sword

You can write whatever you want. No, seriously. You are a writer. If you want to write about the fine mesh of belly button lint, or wax eloquent in a poem about how sunlight glints off the dewdrops on a dandelion in the early morning, or even share your deepest, darkest sexual fantasy, you can do it. That doesn’t mean it’s going to sell. I’m preparing to write another novella – yes, I know, but I swear I have a couple novels in the pipeline too! This one is for a particular anthology I have my eye on for a … Read more

Four Star Review of “Myths Untold: Faery” by Molly Lolly

by
Molly Lolly

Just in – a great review from Molly Lolly: – here’s what she said about the anthology, and my story, “Through the Veil”. Also, a guest post by me about researching the story: This anthology was fabulous. I enjoyed all of the stories and how each author took faeries and the Feary realm and made it their own. It’s a smaller anthology but it had pretty much everything I could want since I’m such a huge fantasy, faery and magic fan. Many of the stories had me wanting more from the characters or ended in a way that made me think … Read more
