So, Deb Atwood (aka Tryslora on LJ, DW, etc…), a terrific writer and one of my beta-readers on the Magic University books, wrote a crossover fanfic story in which Alex from MagicU meets up with Random from Roger Zelazny’s Amber books. Zelazny was one of my early and persistent influences on my writing, and I’ve [...]

I just realized I tweeted this, and linked it on Facebook, but I never actually did a blog post saying Magic University: The Poet and the Prophecy is AVAILABLE! My last blog post was about how the ebook had been delayed! Well, delay over, and the propagation of the ebook is underway. It is currently [...]

So the bad news about The Poet and the Prophecy is that it’s delayed a day or two because the publisher discovered a mistake in the ebook files, so they have to be re-done. Oops. The good news is that I decided that means I should publish another excerpt! Below. Also in today’s news, I’m [...]

This is the second “teaser” chapter I’ve posted. The first one, if you missed it, is here: http://blog.ceciliatan.com/?p=677 Here’s another… in which Kyle finds himself standing outside the Boston Eagle, an infamous gay bar in town.

Poetry As I mentioned before, Poetry is one of the major magical disciplines. Kyle, our hero, is a poet, a relative of Longfellow, and he is astonished to learn upon [...]

Yes, back-to-school week is winding down, so this is the last quiz of the week, and your last chance to win either an autographed copy of book one from the Magic University series or volumes 1-3 as ebooks. (Tomorrow I’ll give an extra credit assignment, though!) Biology & Mythology I’m running out of lessons I [...]

Thank Godwin It’s Friday! Today’s lesson in the Magic University back-to-school week is about SWEARING. Magical folk at Veritas don’t swear by using the language of their oppressors (the Church) and they don’t believe in damnation. So there’s no “damn” “hell” “God” or “Jesus Christ!” in their lexicon of swear words. Instead, they tend to [...]

And here’s the fourth day of my Magic University “back to school” posts. First of all for today, I just got the completely GORGEOUS cover art from the publisher! Ahhh I can’t believe how fabulous it came out! (Full size below the cut!) Second, before we get to the free book giveaway… today we have [...]
