Quite a bit has happened in my life
since the last issue of Avalon Mists, and all in all it's something of
a
blue-eyed wonder (where did that phrase come from,
anyway?) that I'm getting this done on time. I'm very
pleased to report that my second fantasy series, the
ElfLore trilogy, has been accepted by Silver Dragon
Press, an imprint of Renaissance
Alliance Publishing. I've also finished the recording of Black Roses,
a horror
novel that is being produced as an audio book, read by
yours truly, from TimeFare
Productions.
With all of this going on, having
finished the second ElfLore book in less than two months, I have
barely
had time to even think about fanfic. However, from now
until after the Gathering,
that's going to be my main
focus. To celebrate this, I'm pleased that I finally
got a chance to sit down and write my contribution to the
Challenge, Travels of the Guardian.
This issue contains many cool new
things, including Imzadi's icons and Christi's caption contest, as well
as
some very cool stories and pics and more of Michael Heitz's
terrific cartoons. Thank you, contributors! Nice
work, one and all!
The big upcoming event of the summer
is of course the Gathering,
which begins on June 22 and goes for
four fun-filled, programming-packed days. I'll be there,
along with my husband Tim and daughter Becca, and
my sister-in-law Kathy, and my father and his new bride
might even stop by! I'm greatly looking forward to
the panels, the dozens of guests from the show, and getting
to debut my third MageLore
book. It should be
the most exciting con yet!
The deadline for the next issue will
be Thursday, August 30th. Don't miss the Artists' Challenge, in which
we'll skate right up to the edge of Avalon Mists' PG
rating with the Titania's Secret catalog! ; ) As always,
fics, pics, crossovers, filks, poems, articles, character
spotlights, and the like are eagerly welcomed.
