Some (but not all of the) New Titles for Spring

For the entire month of March, orders for Where the Shadows Began & Other Stories by Bradley H. Sinor will enjoy FREE domestic shipping and drastically reduced international shipping. If you haven't ordered yourself a copy yet, you don't know what you're missing. Consider tales that:

• A theatre where the play’s the thing and nightmares perform.
• Fog that, if you walk into, you will come out to find the world changed—and that you must face the greatest killer of an age.
• How the burden of legend, honor and the pain of love lost stretches down through the ages.
• The sands of a beach where choices made cannot be unmade.
• A tale as old as time—from an unexpected point of view.
• Who cleans up after the titans clash?

Brad's fantasy takes you into uncharted territories of wonder and possibility. It's a highly recommended read.

Speaking of great reads, coming soon is a fine collection of poetry from Ben Ohmart. In Albany: an Autobio in Poemtry, Ben takes a different approach to biography by presenting a series of poems which not only encapsulate his own experiences growing up, but which also envelope the reader in a shared experience. It's not often one finds poetry that talks about playing Frogger or Space Invaders as a child, or enjoying comic books or Star Wars action action figures (from the first trilogy). If you're a Merry Blacksmith reader, then you're probably a little bit of a geek and proud of it. Ben's one of us and it shows. Look for this book around the beginning of April.

Cheers!
