THE UNHOLY By Paul DeBlassie III AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Can you describe your dream home? I’m living in it…Spanish Mediterranean with a Victorian gothic feel.

Some Literary Politics... of Hair

Celebrate divers-- Oh, wait. Our crowning glory is all tied all up in knots with issues of power, privilege, history, and tradition. You think I exaggerate?

As she trains herself into a stronger incarnation, both emotionally and physically, her compassion lands her the friendship of a gentle, shape-shifting dwarf and leads her closer to freeing their country from the tyranny of a (rather hypocritically anti-magic) dark...
