Foreword

by Valentina, virtual spokesbeing of Arcane Twilight

Hey there, everyone. Summer is here, and so is the third issue of Arcane Twilight! With all the hot weather we've been having lately, you need to keep cool; might I suggest sitting in a nice air-conditioned coffee shop, with an iced drink in one hand and your favorite novel in the other?

Ah, but speaking of novels, in this issue Mark brings us a sneak peek at his second book, "Power Play": a tale of tough guys, sultry women, and oh yes -- vampires! It takes place in our shared-world setting of Hyzathra, which new authors are welcome to write about. So if you're interested, send us an e-mail and we'll tell you more about it.

Carlo also presents us with a story titled "Silver", the first episode of his new series The McHarne Chronicles, about a bounty hunter trying to make a living in a dark, unnatural world. And the action continues in part three of the "Magic, Maiden and Mist" webcomic.

Okay, enough of Valentina's natterings, yes? Enjoy your summer reading, and please tell all your friends and family about Arcane Twilight!
