FF: Alternate Interpretations
Kel Looks Smug
The latest issue of DreamForge magazine arrived this week. It features the first ever Firekeeper short story, “A Question of Truth,” illustrated by Hugo Award-winning author, Elizabeth Leggett. If you’re waiting for your copy of DreamForge to arrive, and need a Firekeeper hit, remember that the new Firekeeper novel, Wolf’s Search is now available!
The Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines. The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
And I’m always interested in what you have to recommend!
Recently Completed:
End of the Megafauna by Ross. D. E. MacPhee, with glorious illustrations by Peter Schouten. Although intended for a general audience, the author relies on a glossary, rather than over-simplifying his topic. So far well-organized and fascinating.
In Progress:
While Gods Sleep by L.D. Coulter. I met the author (who also wrote “The Weight of Mountain” in DreamForge, issue two, at Bubonicon, and when I learned we shared an interest in mythology decided to try another of her works. I’m about three-quarters through, and love her alternate take on Greek mythology.
Caesar and Christ by Will Durant. Audiobook. Taking a look at cultures deeply influenced by Rome, often by being conquered by the Romans or resisting being conquered by the Romans.
Also:
I’ve started the new issue of DreamForge, of course!
