First Issue of “Millhaven Tales” is available for Pre-Order

“Millhaven’s Tales of Wonder” is the first of a quarterly anthology magazine focusing on different genres as the seasons change. The Spring ’18 issue is filled with stories of a science fiction or fantasy nature. Eight intriguing stories by relatively new authors.

I mean, do you really need to spend all that time on sleeping?
Well, “Millhaven’s Tales of Wonder” is complete, and very nearly printed (just awaiting a proof to make sure it doesn...

Review: New World by Steven W. White
“Across the sea lies a newly discovered continent, a world whose forests and beasts are unknown to the recorded memory of elves, dwarves, or men.
In this land called Mira, the brutal sacking of a young colony links the fates of two opposite characters: a twelve-year-old printer’s son named Simon Jones and his long-lost uncle Tiberius Bogg, one of Mira’s legendary mountain men.
Simon is small, but smart; scared but determined. Bogg, with his raccoon-skin cap and smart-talking grammar abuse, is...
