| October Releases are up at Gypsy Shadow Publishing! | Entry #674063 |
I finished updating the website today and uploading the six new releases to our shopping cart. Now to start on the November releases! We added two new authors, Mark Henderson from the UK and Teel James Glenn from New Jersey.
Mark is, in his own words:
" . . .well over 60, though I don’t appear to be speeding. My career was in medicine and biological research. Now I live in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England, where I eke out a living by editing medical and scientific papers and occasional fiction manuscripts. In my copious free time I travel the Peak District countryside and collect local folktales.
"About six years ago I decided to try my hand at fiction writing. So far, I’ve had one collection of short stories (Rope Trick: Thirteen Strange Tales) published on a short print run by a small Canadian press; one story in that collection was based on a Peak District folktale. My first novel, Perilaus was published in the USA in 2009."
We are happy to have his adorable children's book, Fenella and the Magic Mirror, a delightful illustrated modern fairytale about Fenella, who . . . "is officially a damsel, but she’s the despair of her parents, who want to marry her to young Sir Mallicose. Big, muscular, dark, scruffy and bold, Fenella would rather chop logs and shoot arrows than embroider a tapestry, and she isn’t interested in Sir Mallicose at all. Her younger sister Felicity—delicate, pretty, shy and retiring—loves embroidery, loves Sir Mallicose, and hates Fenella.
"When the terrible dragon Faffer arrives in the neighborhood, wreaking havoc and stealing livestock and maidservants, Sir Mallicose goes to fight him—and is captured. Fenella sets off to rescue him, despite the fears of her friend Harold the Steward. Her only weapons against Faffer the dragon are her axe . . . and her magic mirror, which shows you the thing you most greatly fear. Will they be enough? And if Sir Mallicose is rescued, which sister will he marry?"
Teel James Glenn is a native of Brooklyn. He’s traveled the world for thirty years as a Stuntman/ Fight choreographer/ Swordmaster, Jouster, Book Illustrator, Storyteller, Author, Bodyguard and Actor. He’s over two dozen books contracted and in print and sold poetry to T-Zero, Athena Sidhe, Blazing Adventures, Heroic Fantasy Quarterly and others.
He has choreographed action for over 300 plays, 50 renaissance faires and 60 films.
His greatest achievement however, is his awesome daughter Aislin Rose.
His poetry collection, Hymns to the Batttlecrow, is a look at battle through the eyes, mind and heart of a Viking Warrior. Teel uses his unique perspective to give modern day readers a poetic glimpse into the past.
The text is accompanied by the author's illustrations.
