Arroyo de Oro

sciencefictionlogo75-noquote.jpgRoger Zelazny was a beloved fantasy and science fiction writer who lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I had the honor of knowing him, though less well than I would have liked.  I was at his last birthday party, and at his wake, and had the additional honor of contributing a story to Lord of the Fantastic, an anthology in his honor. 


mysterylogo75-noquote.jpg The genesis of "Arroyo de Oro" was an invitation Roger made to me to submit a story to an anthology he was editing.  Sadly, I was unable to do so at the time, but the germ of the idea stayed with me and eventually blossomed into this story.  That it was included in his tribute was both sad and sweet for me.  Roger had his story, a bit late.

She was known as the Dark Angel, held in reverence by the soldiers.  She roamed the hospital tents each night, bringing comfort to the dying, but she never appeared in public, and refused all requests for interviews.  How could any self-respecting journalist walk away?

Glad Yule

fantasylogo75-noquote.jpgby Pati Nagle

Glad Yule first appeared in the anthology An Armory of Swords, edited by Fred Saberhagen and set in his Swords of Power universe. He was a kind and gentle human being and is greatly missed. His invitation to write a Swords story meant a great deal to me. With the holidays coming around, I'm inclined to curl up by the fire with a cup of mead and drink to Fred's memory.

As the dark of midwinter approaches, young Lord Paethor's gloom increases. Asked by his King to retrieve a Sword of Power from the realm's borders, he sets off with two friends, leaving the warmth of court behind for the cold dangers of the wilds.
