Shadowed Souls, Edited By Jim Butcher & Kerrie L. Hughes: Review/Giveaway

2016 Articles, Lorie Lewis Ham, Mysteryrat's Maze

by Lorie Lewis Ham

Shadowed Souls in an anthology with a bit of a different twist--the "heroes" in the stories are not your typical heroes and nothing is as simple as black and white.
The list of writers in this anthology is a fantasy lovers delight! Two of them are some of my favorite writers--Jim Butcher and Kat Richardson. I have also discovered some writers I had never tried before and now can't wait to check out what else they have written.

Seattle’s Marvelous Mystery Bookshop

2015 Articles, Mysteryrat's Maze

by Kat Richardson

I found the Seattle Mystery Bookshop by accident the first time, on a steep street, just off Seattle's famous Pioneer Park. It's a little place, tucked behind a brick arch and an iron railing. The sidewalk of Cherry Street slopes past at head height and an acute angle. It seems as if there ought to be something mysterious going on in such a place, hiding in plain sight, like a purloined letter, yet tucked away in a corner where any sort of fascinating and curious things might drift in and come to rest.

by Terrance Mc Arthur

Harper Blaine has died several times and is a Greywalker, able to identify auras and travel the realm between normality and paranormality. Quinton, her husband in all but the legal sense, has been gone for a year, scouring Europe for his father, who has plans to make the world better by destroying it, quietly causing political, economic, and social unrest in Ukraine and other countries. In Revenant, Kat Richardson’s ninth and final Greywalker novel, Quinton contacts her to come to Portugal and help him, she gets help from Carlos, her favorite Portuguese vampire/necromancer, who helps her cross the Atlantic…like the vampires do (Think about the easiest way to travel the ocean in an airplane without people bothering you for a passport).

Ferret Legalization in California

2014 Articles, Pets

by Kat Richardson

Whether you call them “California stretch kittens,” “tube rats,” or “furry knee socks,” the domestic ferret is a charming little creature, welcomed as a pet in forty-eight states of the United States and every country in Europe. Current estimates place the number of pet ferrets in the U.S. at between seven million and ten million with no negative impact on the economies, agriculture, health, or welfare of any state where they are legal.
