More pretty images to make your day

It might be cold enough that I am wearing hand warmers, three pairs of socks and three sweaters (thanks so much roommate for leaving your window open when it is freezing outside) but there is nothing as nice as looking at lovely images and sharing them with you!

A short story review and of course art again

Well this week I decided I needed to review one of the tales from the anthology, The Solaris book of New Fantasy. Now just so you know I did review the whole book over on Booklikes and this is not one of my favorite anthologies because it tries to be something it is not. But having said that there was one tale that touched my heart and made it worth the money I had paid for the book.

That tale is The Song Her Heart Sang by Steven Savile. This tale is a type of love story written in fantasy. As someone who has done a few fantasy romances in the past year, I have come to really understand how hard it is to mix the two genres. .

This tale has a man who goes to a lost city to find something to help his love see for the first time. His travails are what you would expect of a man who is not an adventurer heading into danger but his motivation is what makes this tale both heartwarming and strong. Of all the tales in this book, this one is the best.

Now for some pretty pictures right?

This week I didn't go for a specific artist because I just wanted something pretty and of course faeries, dragons and unicorns are some of the prettiest things I have.

ARrrrggghhhhhhhh lets try this one more time

Some days you just can't get your post to take. Today is one of those days.

So how about I just put up some fabulous art from the 70s and 80s that graced science fiction and fantasy novels?

Fine art from the great Boris Valejo. Look for more soon.
