Book Description

As a follow up to the debut collection entitled Assorted Musings, A Bardic Melange tackles various themes incorporating humour, limericks, solemnity and the author’s unique take on observed situations and experiences, some of which may resonate with the reader. Indeed, some offerings are personal and meaningful to the author who has no qualms about sharing his feelings and thoughts. It is hoped that you will enjoy the author’s writings and take something away in terms of stimulating food for thought! As you will deduce, it is far removed from romantic poetry. Rather, it is very much contemporary verse written for today. Do enjoy at your leisure.

Book Description

For over a decade, the Bards and Sages Quarterly has been a showcase for both new and established authors to share their speculative works. The short stories presented in each issue serve as a delightful sampler of the speculative genres. Whether your preference is sword and sorcery, time-travel, space exploration, gothic horror, urban fantasy, or any of the speculative genres, you are sure to find something to love in the pages of this magazine. A sample of what is in this issue: The employees of a no-kill animal shelter must content with an influx of magical creatures in The Week of Floofy Hell. The residents of the former penal colony of Drought find themselves in a fight for survival against raiders from another colony in The Mutineers of Starvation. A pair of siblings engaged in some time-travel tourism to see the Beatles perform live discover they may have been sold a dangerous deal in The Farther One Travels. Special notification: Though we avoid publishing stories we deem gratuitous in nature, as a journal of speculative fiction, some stories may content dark subject matter. Some stories may contain strong or offensive language, depictions of violence, and child and animal endangerment.
