From Light to Dark, the newest release from Irene L. Pynn, became available January 13 through Wild Child Publishing.

The people of Light World and Dark World live in fear of one another, blindly hating what they don't understand, until Eref leaves Light World and meets the beautiful Caer—in Dark World. Suddenly, the worlds are thrown into chaos as Eref and Caer struggle to do what is right.
Marked for death, the two teens must work together against an evil institution that has kept Light World and Dark World apart for hundreds of years.

The New Covey Awards
Fran tell us:
   I also run an online shopping website, Megaera’s Realm, named after one of the Greek furies (and my cat.) There I sell a range of hand painted glassware, mugs, mirrors and frames and handmade cards, prints and jewelry, as well as a small range of gothic and Victorian inspired clothing.
     Everything I sell is ‘spooky,’ or fantasy or myth based, combining my first love, of ghost stories, black cats, bats and spiders and anything dark, and my passion for literature and mythology. It’s only a small business, but I enjoy running it because I get to express myself creatively in a different way, through the jewelery that I make and sell. And because it gives me an opportunity to meet different people who share the same interests as me, beyond writing.
    One of the people who supply my shop, is an artist named Charlotte Thomson who designs the cards and prints that I sell, even went onto design my Shadow Seer cover for me.

The website address for the shop is: http://www.megaeras-realm.com/

Irene Frenkel is an artist whose astonishing fantasy is immediately recognized once you have seen her works. A rich universe of powerful forms in their whimsical relationships appears before the eyes of those who are open to anything unusual requiring creativity and free flights of imagination. Her art reveals dynamic space whose living matter perpetually generates novelty, the universe whose mutability challenges common sense and opens new perspectives.
Her amazing creativity is shown on our January 2009 and October 2009 cover- and we feel fortunate to be able to share this with you!

You can find more of her fantastic creations at their shared website...just click on the picture entitled Coexistence - below.
Christine L Golden
    Christine Lajoie Golden has been running Golden Visions Magazine of Science Fiction & Fantasy since Jan. 2008.  Working as Chief Editor and staff writer, she works at not only putting out a quarterly online magazine, but the print edition as well.  Finding talented writers to fill the pages of both the online and print issues present quite a challenge- but she has been blessed to find many gifted writers over the past few years who offer a variety of unusual and unique stories.
    Writing her own material has taken a backseat at many times, but she still finds time to hit the keyboards and put out a few things.  Several pieces of flash fiction have appeared in Alien Skin (yes, she even got zapped!), two stories in Aoife's Kiss, one in FMAM, one in Crazy Little Magazine, and a few in Abandoned Towers, with a collection of stories coming out soon that will be available in pdf here at GVM.

    I'm running a competition in which ALL PURCHASERS of the novel have their name entered into a prize draw. The winner receives two free copies of my new book which will feature YOUR NAME as the name of one of the lead characters. Or if that doesn't float your boat, your name will grace the DEDICATIONS page right at the front of the book. So there you go; I'm offering you the chance to WIN IMMORTALITY (not in a Highlander sense, but in a real, bookshoppy way).     All you have to do is purchase a copy of the book...  Which you can do from all good online retailers including:
