Danielle asked James Van Pelt:

Just found out you wrote a story for "Adventures of Sword & Sorcery" back in 1997. Do you have any more heroic fantasy under your belt that you didn't tell me about in high school?

James Van Pelt Hi, Danielle. I have written other heroic Fantasies. "Nine Fingers on the Flute" was the first in '97. "Once They were Monarchs" in ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE in '00 was heroic fantasy transplanted to modern times. "The Road's End" was in REALMS OF FANTASY in Feb. '06. "This Gray Rock, Standing Tall," was sort of a post-heroic fantasy in the June 2014 JOURNAL OF UNLIKELY CARTOGRAPHY. "Ghost Ship," in the 2015 Australian anthology, WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY AND HORROR was a pirate story. "The Silk Silvered Skull of Mirren Mir" in the 2016 Triangulation: Beneath the Surface anthology. "The Sword Imperial" in 2017 in SWORD AND SORCERY magazine. And "Apprentice" in 2016 in FANTASY SCROLL MAGAZINE.

Thanks for asking.
