My newest title: Sic-Magickal...

Imagine a world where the Germans won WWI in only 11 months- Europe wasn't deviated and a new golden age of science and magick happened--then you have the world of Sci-magickal!

Sci-Magickal
by Teel James Glenn from Gypsy Shadow Publishing


When Jeremy Cross gets his scholarship to the Mabuse School for New Magicks in Germany, he has no idea what he is in for: the only Englishman in the academy, he receives all sorts of ribbing, yet he makes friends. When some of those friends, Elke, Gert and Oswald, come up with a wild scheme to break into the old Castle Godesburg and search for an ancient treasure, he goes along with them. None of them imagine they'll discover an ancient talisman of power or that poor Jeremy will become the victim of ancient magicks so powerful that none of his instructors can control them.

Things go from bad to worse when he becomes the pawn of fellow students in an incredible plan to kill a king and take over an empire. Old school days have never been like this!

Garden State Speculative Fiction Writers- Rock!!!!

I had the pleasure of visiting the Garden State Speculative Fiction Writers group last week. Much thanks to my editor at Dark Quest (and GSSW member) Neal Levin for inviting me.
I met some very cool writers and felt absolutely like one of the gang instantly.
I had a very neat conversation with Tom Joyce and he invited me to his blog (that will come) but then went home and wrote a very complimentary and incisive entry about my talk:
