New at Mindflights: The Turnip Farmer by C.C. Moore ~ Tabor seems like a simple farmer, but it's dangerous to make assumptions.

This from Andrea Graham: Though it's a little confused about what season it is, the winter 2009 issue of Laser & Sword is out and has a gorgeous cover:



In our action packed serials:
-The apparent murder of the Russian hero, Defender sends the eighteen inch tall hero, Small Packages, on a quest to find the killer. Meanwhile, after being retired for 13 years, can Captain Justice make a comeback with Earth's heroes gone?
-Jirel has to act quickly before a fem fatale kills again. Her next target: Private A.L. Snyder.
-Powerhouse faces the Invisibility Master, while Marcos and Night Lord close in on Reverend Jones, whose inner city ministry is cutting in on their drug profits.

And get a preview look at R.L. Copple's new release Transforming Realities coming very soon from Double-Edged Publishing.
