Emerald Tales - Winter Solstice - Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Paranormal Edition

Well, it's still the longest night of the year, so without further ado: Emerald Tales - Winter Solstice - Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Paranormal Special Edition is now up on the website.

An etcher is blamed for her village's troubles; the longest night is good for predators other than vampires; a priestess does what she must to save her lover; a boy must uphold his father's legacy; a man tries to retrieve his wife; a young woman learns about her parents; A man of the Steppe encounters a woman of courage; a servant gains his release and revenge on those who enslaved him; a young woman must help prevent the masters of chaos from being unleashed.

Contributors: Jennifer Azantian, Faith Boughan, Thomas Canfield, Marie Croke, Aubrie Dionne, Jason Flum, Alice Godwin, Wynne Huddleston, Penn Kemp, Tracie McBride, Bill Moon, and Julie St. Thomas.
