Baby chapbook is here!

WINGS OF MORNING
by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel
published by YARD DOG PRESS
ISBN 1-893687-67-8

Tales of power and magic often speak of transitions. Magicians pass from day into night, from dark into dawn—they stand on the threshold of change and cast their spells. The stories we usually tell about our heroes are the flashy ones, the calling of the lightning tales, the riding of the storm saga, the splitting the earth and swallowing the enemy whole adventures.

Wings of Morning tells about two heroines, both capable in their own ways of pyrotechnics, but this time learning lessons of subtle power. Anthropologist Brenna Stewart discovers that you can neither run from nor dictate to magic, while young Alfreda Sorensson of Night Calls and Kindred Rites learns that the power of life and death may be the greatest authority of all...and that magic may have nothing to do with it.

Best of all, the black and white cover is lovely, the best YDP chapbook cover I've seen--Chris did a great job, his first paid gig.

So, for you Allie fiends out there--here's something to keep you busy while I try to heal and write. (I've wrapped two of them as new mom gifts, to be delivered this week.)

I can still write! Yay!
