Publishing authors I admire is as good a way as any to get a chance to work with them. I was making good money on A Distant Soil some years back, so why not share the love?
One of my favorite authors is Delia Sherman, whose new website features “The Tragedy of King Alexander the Stag”, a story originally published in A Distant Soil. The text is available for free at this link, and several of my illustrations are included. It’s a gorgeous tale, and I hope you will take the time to read it. The site design is easy on the eyes, too.
Here’s one illo from the story that isn’t at Delia’s new website.
Alas, the original scans were lost, but we’ve done our best to restore what we could here.
Check out these literate and romantic modern fantasy works by Delia Sherman.
And below the fold, info about an upcoming signing and reading with Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman:

I must recover from this convention, and since a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this will make up for all the words I won’t type.
Carla Speed McNeil gets the respect she is due from Jeff Smith:
More Jeff.
Bone love.
Great fans, great show. Absolutely lovely time. Yeah, got convention crud, but not until the end, so I was only grumpy the last day. Hah!
The best part of the show for me was getting to go over my new prose novel with Jeff Smith. Got a better reaction to the outline that I dared dream. Very inspiring. I daydreamed about my book all the way up to the show and all the way back. Firing on all cylinders.
But Jeff urged me to get A Distant Soil done as soon as possible. The challenge? Shave my head and keep it shaved until the book is finished.
Whew. I may have to come up with some other sacrifice. May I crop it boyishly short instead? Live with my natural color for awhile?
No, I did no commissions, so nothing to show. I inked my new GN project the whole time. My editors would be pleased.
