  • An Encounter on Samhain Eve
    by Helena Nelson-Reed

    Come just a little while and visit, what is it you fear? For all the brave talk you mortals are timid, worrisome creatures.

    Faeries of the British Isles have a complex history and historically are a far cry from cute, pouting little Tinkerbells. While they, too, are an aspect of Faerie, there’s more to this race than Disney would have you believe. I wrote this story for fun, a seasonal tale to accompany a painting titled the Faerie Queen, a portrait of a faerie woman and her owl familiars. Owls are birds the Celts associated with the Fey. The tale describes a fairie encounter, inspired by a medieval Welsh text, the Mabinogion. I’ve included an excerpt from this story, below. The speaker is a fairie, the traveler human, and the genders may be construed however the reader desires.

  • BAUDIN'S LAST BREATH a novel
    by Victor Barker

    NEVER MARRY A SAILOR! Never marry a sailor. A sailor already has a bride. She’ll seep into any marriage and leach away the love….

    This is the story of two men’s search for meaning, a voyage of discovery taking them half way round the world and defying the normal bounds of time and space. Nicolas Baudin is the eighteenth-century French captain sent by Napoléon on a scientific and political voyage to the uncharted shores of Australia. Victor Barker is the twentieth-century ordinary seaman who followed in Baudin’s wake. He was seeking the truth behind the voyage so he could write a novel based on the life of the French captain. But Captain Nicolas Baudin takes over command of the author and his story, determined that the historical record be put straight. When the author was in Paris, researching material for this story, he was suddenly taken ill and found himself in the Hôtel Dieu hospital. From there on his search for the truth about the Frenchman took a strange twist that led him into a world of secret societies, stolen documents, a stolen skull, and the discovery of the beautiful woman who changed the captain’s life. Nicolas Baudin was real. Victor Barker is real. Most of the characters and incidents in this novel are real. But it is a work of fiction.

    This may be a poem, but it entrails a story of a crime that happened to me. It is true and if you have ever felt like someone is about to take your life away, then this story poem might bring back terrible feelings. There is nothing like feeling the barrel of a gun on the temple of your head.

  • The Wildcat
    by kernuak

    Then it struck. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of disturbed vegetation, as a large animal broke cover,

    My first attempt at nature writing, although I had previously written a few poems. This is the story of an early morning walk in a field centre in Scotland. A sense of walking in the pre-dawn alone and enounters with different wild animals.
