F. Long Love is the wiliest thief of all. A Tale of Ithian Malachy and his sister rely on his talents as a thief to survive the dangerous streets of Klathport, former capital of the once-great kingdom of Ithian. Stealing a few papers should have been a simple job. Instead, it nearly costs their lives and throws them into an improbable alliance with a shape-shifting official, a desert tribeswoman, and a healer of enchanting beauty. Cerys is far more than a simple healer—and the roots of her mission go deeper into the past than anyone can know. She needs Malachy’s skills to recover a stolen scroll, one that can be used to rewrite history and, in the wrong hands, release the dark powers of the Demon Realm...]]> http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/12/02/check-out-this-new-fantasy-by-r-f-long/feed/ 0 http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/11/20/im-a-supernatural-fan-girl/ http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/11/20/im-a-supernatural-fan-girl/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:39:50 +0000 Stephanie Draven http://stephaniedraven.com/?p=1016 At first, the CW's hit television show, Supernatural, didn't sound like something I'd like. I'm not big on episodic monster-killing dungeon crawls and a story about two brothers running from the law in a muscle car sounded like a throwback to the Dukes of Hazard. But upon the wildly enthusiastic recommendations of my friends and family, I rented the first season I'd missed and popped in the disk. Now, one thing Supernatural knows how to do is grab viewers with a stunning premise. A mother walking into her baby's room to find a dark stranger standing over the crib...it's iconic. The very first few minutes of that very first episode were so gripping that I was hooked. Sure, that first season was a little rocky. It was hard to swallow the idea that our heroes lived off of stolen credit cards and fake IDs, but the whole thing went down a lot smoother when I realized...]]> http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/11/20/im-a-supernatural-fan-girl/feed/ 3 http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/29/is-flashforward-going-to-be-the-new-lost/ http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/29/is-flashforward-going-to-be-the-new-lost/#comments Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:35:47 +0000 Stephanie Draven http://stephaniedraven.com/?p=836 Is ABC's Flashforward going to be the new Lost? Everyone seems to be asking this question, but they mean it in the good way. Yet, when I ask this question, it is with great trepidation...]]> http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/29/is-flashforward-going-to-be-the-new-lost/feed/ 1 http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/17/greek-mythology-in-hbos-true-blood/ http://stephaniedraven.com/2009/09/17/greek-mythology-in-hbos-true-blood/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:32:03 +0000 Stephanie Draven http://stephaniedraven.com/?p=735 When I heard that Clash of the Titans was going to be remade, I said that I like to think that this is going to be a good year for Greek Myth inspired fiction.
