Deep Magic December 2016

4.1/5 ( ratings)

If you want to read gripping stories that don’t rely on sex, swearing, and graphic violence—you’ve come to the right place!

DEEP MAGIC is a bi-monthly electronic magazine that publishes clean short fiction in the fantasy and science fiction genres . Our issues are also filled with author interviews, art features, book reviews and tips for writers.

In this issue you'll find bestselling author Michael J Sullivan! If you're not familiar with his amazing Riyria novels and the witty Royce and Hadrian, then give "Professional Integrity" a try and learn why everyone loves these characters. We also feature Adele Gardner's fabulous fantasy "Lake Heart", Melion Traverse's ode to epic fantasy "To the Last", and some science fiction pieces we were blown away by, Walter Dinjos' "A Hundred Lifetimes" and Arinn Dembo's "Imperial Ghosts."

We also include the first chapters of Jeff Wheeler's latest novel "The Maid's War" which will be published in January 2017. It's a prequel to his Wall Street Journal bestselling Kingfountain series. We also took to time to speak to a guy who has interviewed just about every famous fantasy author on the planet in his weekly podcast--Hank Garner--who will share with you some lessons he's learned after doing so many interviews. And if you like Jeff's audiobooks, meet the voice behind his many amazing characters, the award winning Kate Rudd, who we interview in this issue about narrating books. And if you've ever wanted a fantasy tattoo, you might have heard of our cover artist this month, the charming Anne Stokes from the UK. Last but not least, author Erin Summerill will teach you in her writing craft article the tools of the trade for "Real Life Romance in Fantasy Novels."
