  • Fellow RRBC member, John Fioravanti, wrote about on of his inspirations, Mary Kay Ash.

  • Another fellow RRBC member – as well as fantasy author – Carol Marrs Phipps (via another RRBC member, Helen Treharne) discusses her thoughts on the correct mix of magic in a good story.
  • Lastly, Pamela Kay Noble Brown shares something outdated that really isn’t and why.

Fantasy Fiction This Week

  • Lightspeed Magazine has some new short stories out this week. Take a look and see if something interests you.
