A master of atmospheres both dark and light, these two stories are highly evocative. A very satisfying read, highly recommended! ------ Susan Block About Sheri L. McGathy"Born in the Buckeye state, I was uprooted in 1971 and replanted amongst sunflowers, tornadoes, and college football. It's a good life." ~ Sheri L. McGathyWho am I?During the weekdays, I'm a Graphic Arts Coordinator/Copy Editor in prepress. In the evenings and weekends, I'm a writer…or I try to be. Sometimes that is debatable.I'm often asked why I write fantasy, and I usually answer that fantasy, to me, evokes the wonder of dreams and unfettered possibilities. It can be filled with fanciful pleasures or unimaginable fears-all the things we believed in without question when we were kids.Fantasy is Santa and pixie dust, unicorns with long golden horns and white flowing manes. Fantasy is the monster that lurked in the shadows beneath your bed when you were little. Fantasy is fantastical and holds the promise that wishes just might come true if only we dare to believe.I write fantasy because I believe in the magic.~:.*.:~~:.*.:~May the magic always brighten your world~:.*.:~~:.*.:~
