BATTLE CLERIC - Having the power of life and death over your battle comrades, deciding who lives and who dies, makes the battle cleric's job stressful. It doesn't stop when you retire, either, apparently. You can reminisce with Emerald, the renowned battle cleric of Shemara, as she rediscovers what love…and battle…are all about, and has divine help putting each into perspective. The story is now available to Star Members of FantasyFic. Check the Club Room section of the forum and then go to the Battle Cleric forum. Access link is there.

 

All the above stories take place on the mysterious world of Athero, and will be made available to FantasyFic members for free reading pleasure. Keep watch for the book of short stories about the inhabitants of Athero, coming this fall.

 

EYE OF NEWT AND TOE OF FROG - This prequel to Witchcanery is where the whole adventure of Shelley, Brad and Jason began. Eye of Newt… was originally an entry in a short short fiction contest (story had to be under one thousand words). When Nanowrimo came along, the idea of Shelley, Brad and Jason expanded into the love/adventure/comedy/drama that has evolved into Witchcanery. So, if you’ve read the novel, you might be interested in finding out what happened at the previous meeting between Shelley and Jason and why Brad and Shelley appeared before the Grand Council of Wizards in the first place. And was Brad, in fact, a golem or a boy? If you haven't read the novel, this will tide you over until the hard print copy comes out this summer. Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog is being offered as free reading to FantasyFic members and, as a special bonus, to the general public. Go here to access the story.
