| Some comments regarding A Time To... Volume 2 |
VOLUME 2 A wonderful collection of well-written stories. I found them exciting, poignant and fun to read. Humor, drama and mythical mystery of powerful female characters. Thank you for the opportunity to view a fine collection put forth by your very gifted, thought-provoking writers. Your readers will not be disappointed. Paula Blois, editor of The Deepening, short story author and poet *** While reading the first poem I knew A Time to....was a keeper. With it's innovative storylines and clever plot twists, the stories were a welcome escape after a frazzled day. It would hard to pick a favorite, but one of the stories that stayed with me long after reading was Tempting the Fates, by J.J. Fellows. Why? I guess you will have to read the story to find out.

The Blue Flame The Emerald Dagger The Silver Angel Stargazer's Children Shadow Worlds (Now available in print from Twilight Times Books. http://www.twilighttimesbooks.com/ShadowWorlds_ch1.html.) http://www.editred.com/bassetbarb *** What is a woman? Is she shy or determined? Merciless or nurturing? Unyielding or pliant? Whatever you may think of the "fairer" sex, within the pages of this anthology, you will find eighteen stories that will challenge the preconceptions you have. You will meet women blinded by enchantments, driven by vengeance, or replete and serene. You will meet women with centuries of experience, and ones with scant decades. You will meet witches and scientists, friends and rivals. But, despite their differences, the women in each tale have one thing in common: they are all females who find ways to master situations out of their control, who pursue their own paths, and create their own destinies. Join us as we briefly peer into the lives and decisions of these women. "A Time To..." Volume 2 is the second volume of an Eppie-nominated anthology and showcases the very best of The Lorelei Signal for 2007. Come and delve into the pages...and let your imagination soar. PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST IN MANGANESE AND COPPER OXIDE Unlike her brilliant mother, Teri Rozan turned her back on art, grounding herself in science instead. Sent to a mirror Earth which is still at the start of the last Ice Age, with the planet's entire hominid population wiped out by a virulent plague, the young anthropologist is determined to find evidence to support her theory on art as nothing more than an extension of social culture and religion. But on a supposedly dead world, she finds a single plague survivor ... and an insight that will change everything about how she views life, and how she viewed her turbulent past. THE WITCH'S REVENGE In a delightful sequel to a Hans Christian Andersen tale, the magical tinder box with its canine helpers falls into the thieving hands of a common soldier, who discovers it brings him more wealth and power than he can imagine. But the rightful owner of the small rectangular box is not as finished with it as he thinks. When dealing with witches, even a decapitation isn't enough to stop a determined woman with revenge on her mind. RETIREMENT Even with a life of adventuring done -- the last task completed, the last step taken, the last town visited -- magic still remains. SECOND MOON Falev believes his life is perfect. He has the perfect woman as his wife, even if he had to kill his brother -- her husband -- to get her. And he has the perfect power of a potent wizard at his command, cleansing his beloved of all her previous memories. But as the wizard Jison warns, the spell that made Aritei forget her first husband is not infallible. Aritei is a strong, determined woman ... what will happen if she remembers that the bed she's warming belongs to the man who killed her beloved? KS "Kaz" Augustin --- Spicing up the galaxy...one planet at a time! http://www.ksaugustin.com http://blog.ksaugustin.com *** Too often women serve as victims or helpless princesses in our fantasies. No more. A Time To... brings us a whole crop of role models for young girls everywhere, heroines that are strong both mentally and physically. Here they are magicians and warriors. Like real world women, they tackle the challenges before them with courage, intelligence, and sensitivity. But not too much sentimentality. As we discover in Samantha Henderson's poem that leads the anthology, this ain't your mother's Cinderella Fairy Tale. "Sue Lange, author WE, ROBOTS" http://www.suelangetheauthor.com |
