The floor of the valley below them started to boil and seethe. Shahr-Azad hissed in anger and clapped her hands. There was crisp pfutt! The roc shrank in size, its plumage changed, and the yellow eyes took on a cheerful mischievous expression. ‘It’s more like a parrot!’ Cy cried, gripping his dreamsilk and sending a surge of energy through it with this thought. Cy saw the terrible rending claws, its awful hooked beak. ‘Aaarkkk! Aaarkkk!’ The bird sensed its prey had weakened and it cawed in triumph as it returned, filling the sky above them with its immense shadow. The roc faltered, its wings trembled, then found new strength as Cy’s thoughts wavered and his mind lost the picture of the budgerigar. ‘It’s my dream, my story, and I say it’s a budgie.’ It circled and flew at them again, this time descending with its vicious beak wide open to attack them as it came. The Dream Master ducked and Cy swiped at it as it swept past. ![]() It came swooping in, talons outstretched ready for the kill. The roc’s malevolent yellow eyes had spotted them. ‘Thank goodness for-‘įrom a cleft within the nearest cliff a huge bird rose from its nest and flew flying towards them. He wiped his face with his hands and then his hands on his beard. The Dream Master was the first to recover. Its passengers slid forward and teetered on the edge. ![]() 6/3/2023 0 Comments Alone On the Water by MadLori![]() ![]() ![]() Above are a sketch and a discarded drawing as well as the final watercolour and the finished poster I created for “Kanisza”, the film Sherlock got his Oscar for in Madlori’s masterful Performance in a Leading Role. ![]() It’s interesting what one finds in art folders while looking for something completely different. □ Author khorazirart Posted on AugAugFormat Gallery Tags alone on the water, coloured pencil, drawing, fanfic, graphics, madlori, pencil, performance in a leading role, senza catene, sherlock, sherlock fanart, watercolour Leave a comment on Must have been about the first Sherlock fanfiction I created fanart for. Well, and the last two drawings … I guess I don’t have to mention the story (of course it’s Alone on the Water). When you read it do listen to the sound files because they really add to the experience. The drawing of Sherlock singing is inspired by Senza Catene, a lovely story in which Sherlock sings opera. The “Entertainment Weekly” cover was a funny thing because shortly after I’d posted it marielikestodraw posted hers, and according to madlori we both got the composition the wrong way round ). The first five pieces are for Performance in a Leading Role, mostly meta-stuff like movie posters and DVD covers, and one illustration of the snowball fight scene. After my “ Kanisza”-post yesterday, I thought I’d do a madlori fanfic masterpost because I realised I’ve done quite a bit of artwork for her stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paris Triantis is lecturer at the Design Factory Melbourne, a Graduate of architecture and a member of the MedTech Victoria research team at Swinburne.

The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns’s spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God’s Word as it is actually written. Is this what God really requires? How could God’s plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his job-but they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow. Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to “protect” the Bible, Enns was conflicted. ![]() But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community. Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion, teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary. The controversial Bible scholar and author of The Evolution of Adam recounts his transformative spiritual journey in which he discovered a new, more honest way to love and appreciate God’s Word. ![]() 6/1/2023 0 Comments T kingfisher nettle and bone![]() ![]() There are of course the retellings but another rich stream in fantasy are the writers who take these elements and give us new stories playing on the riffs but perhaps with unexpected outcomes.

I would like to thank Sarah from Titan Books for an advance copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review ![]() ![]() ![]() Miigweetch NetGalley and Zest Books for sending this book for review consideration. A solid adaptation of an already stellar book that I can’t recommend enough. ![]() I can’t wait to share it in class and with my local neighborhood read. ![]() It’s also great if you’re looking for a shorter adaption that doesn’t sacrifice the original’s depth and complexity of ideas. Overall, this text would work well in any introductory Indigenous Studies, Ethnic Studies, or environmental justice course. I also appreciate that the art is by Indigenous creatives. And the art! Beautiful and worthy of dialogue on its own. The adaptation doesn’t include a couple essays that are in the original, but this is a plus if you’re looking for a shorter read to assign in classes with supplemental materials or if your community read is on a shorter timeline. An emphasis on key passages and discussion prompts is helpful for youth and adults alike. ![]() However, this young readers adaptation is different. I typically refrain from assigning young adult adaptations since I find most to be a bit too simplistic, even for young adults.
