Unless something miraculous happens in the next few days, Bill and I have concluded the reading for Magic & Mechanica.

Added to the ToC are:

"Cogs" by Dawn Walls-Thumma, a post-apocalypic-type story that still has the feel of fantasy. I enjoyed this piece about discovery of an ancient, machine-using culture and its affect on a technologically deficient kingdom.

"Night and Day" by Linda Donahue. In a world where magic is controlled by carefully-crafted machines powered by the Sun, what happens when a brilliant young student discovers constructs powered by the Moon?

"Alexander's Odyssey" by Steven Southard. Alexander has conquered the Persians and spread his empire. Now he wants to explore into the depths of the oceans themselves, much to Poseidon's dismay.

This makes Magic & Mechanica a collection of 14 stories with a word count near 75,000, with a couple of possible additions. We'll post more as we work through the editing process.

Very excited to add "The Butterfly Assassins" by Camille Alexa. Pelton is the assitant to one of the royal "wizards" (needs to be in quotes cause the word isn't quite right - you'll see when you read it) who utilize a very simple form of spoken magic. Pelton is a stutterer, though, and has taken to mechanical engineering to help him through his job. Together, these two investigate a group of deaths where other "wizards" have drowned on butterflies. Sounds intriguing? Camille does it much better than this brief synopsis.

Magic & Mechanica now sits at 15 stories and 81,000 words. We're almost done with the "easy" part. If we can get the editing done quickly I might even be able to get everything up and available in my projected time frame.
