Darker Loves by James Dorr
Praise For James Dorr's Fiction & Poetry...
"James Dorr's work is for those who want to be whisked away from their day to day reality and taken to other places and eras... There's not an ordinary tale to be found. This is Dark Fantasy in the fullest sense of the term, not as a euphemism for horror." --Garret Peck, Cemetery Dance
"Contemporary spook yarns, historical fantasies of many lands and eras, oriental fables -- all these and more benefit from Dorr's skilled touch... Additionally, in a selection of poems, he reveals himself to be a fine versifier as well." --Paul Di Fillipo, Asimov's SF

With Silver Eyes and Silver Voice, He Weaves the Power of Magic Into Song...
He is Anwyn Baldomyre, the Harper Mage, and he's back again, traveling the length and breadth of Lamboria in search of songs. Guided -- and more often badgered -- at times by the wisdom of his harp Glynnanis whose living wood houses the soul of the last unicorn, Anwyn meets wyrefolk, wraiths, kelpies, fey folk and many who do not trust magic at all. And while he does not alwys seek adventure, it has a way of crossing his path and forcing him to reckon with himself.

Wings by Sarah A. Hoyt
"Hoyt has a deceptively clear and easy style...her characters, historical and magical, are deftly drawn and completely believable."
--Chronicle
"Sarah A. Hoyt has gained considerable attention for her first two novels, which feature William Shakespeare and the world of faerie. Crawling Between Heaven and Earth is a collection of her short work, some of it original... The only thing the stories have in common is that they are all good ones. My favorite was "Trafalgar Square", an alternate history story in which Asia is a democratic and Europe totalitarian, with the ghost story "Songs" a close second. Take as a whole, the stories demonstrate the wide range of Hoyt's talent, and promise more delight in the future.
