Looking For Goats, Finding Monkeys

Looking For Goats is the first of the four Dao Shi stories originally published in Black Gate magazine to much acclaim, featuring the charming conman and bogus exorcist who one day runs into much more than he bargains for...Dao Shi is not a bad man. Granted, he is a liar and a charlatan and a con-man, but aside from that he's not a bad man. He earns his living with mumbo-jumbo and magic tricks, convincing the gullible and superstitious that he is a master exorcist who can rid them of the demons and hungry ancestor-spirits that they blame for their bad luck, even though the closest Dao Shi has come to a ghost has been in his bad dreams after over-indulging at Mama Shen's. One day though, Dao Shi runs into much more than he bargained for…Looking For Goats is the first of the four Dao Shi stories originally published in Black Gate magazine to much acclaim, and sets in train events which result in Dao Shi being caught up in the treacherous politics of empire and war, and a series of life and death battles with demons, bandits, traitors and lawyers, in cities and boats and the dark sewers of the Underworld. Usually a firm believer that the best form of defence is cowardice, Dao Shi becomes a reluctant hero as he learns that the death of his son and his fellow-soldiers of the Mountain Eagles may hide a terrible secret that is connected with the fate of the Empire itself."You owe it to yourself to discover Rowan's fiction if you haven't already had the pleasure."

Dalynia - Nature's Slaughter

Time is running out for the people of Aazronia. Besieged by abominations, Magistrate Marcus flees to the druid homeworld to seek the help of the Druid Mother. He must battle his way past the rabid infestation that blocks his path to safety. As he prepares to retake his home, his only thoughts lie with the thousands of Aazronians that lay dying in their homes.With Magistrate Marcus leading his men as they tried to repel the attackers of his beloved Aazronians, their exhaustion was apparent. Their magic diminished as they weakened through fatigue – the abomination army was strong, but the Aazronians needed to be stronger. As the Magistrate called on the Medallion of Justice around his neck to intensify, it lit up – his Storm Wizard magic was now at its strongest; the arc of electricity which raced through the air headed in the several directions it was needed, doing the necessary eliminations amongst gratifying explosions.As the Wizard Legion rallied around one another, they fought on – they were desperate to protect the portal for as long as they were able. Suddenly Marcus received a mind message from Gwin – they were to return; the portal was to be opened. Marcus led his Legion toward the safety of the Druids – but would they be successful? Would there be more lives lost on their journey?Reviewed by Goodreads. 4 stars."This short story was very enjoyable – a fast paced, action packed piece of writing with lots of creatures, wizards and magic interspersed – a quick and easy read. I have no hesitation in recommending it to lovers of scifi and fantasy." -Brenda
