A Side Story of the Arthurian LegendBy TankA well-told tale of the Arthurian legend, told from a different viewpoint. The story centers around Uther's rape of Arthur's mother while pretending to be her husband (with the help of a little magic). But after that, Uther disappears from the story and it revolves around the girl child of another casualty of the encounter. Yes, Merlin is in the story.What I liked most of all is that the story sticks to the ORIGINAL legend, rather than all the claptrap spinoffs that have surfaced in the last few decades. It's well-written with few typos (but could have used another pair of eyes). The ending is a nice surprise.It's a novelette, but I wish it were longer. Well done!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Arthurian Short StoryBy AngusThe Mooncalfe is a novella and the name of the child of Merlin. This story is so short that I donrsquo;t want to go into much detail as it might spoil it for you. Quick overview because most of you know the tale. Uther wearing a glamour spun by Merlin poses as Duke Gorlois to gain entry to Tintagel castle and bed the Lady Igraine. Merlin wearing a glamour making himself look like one of the Dukes menhellip;Sir Jordans, gets bored and randy sitting at the feasting table. He uses his wiles to take a serving woman and get her with child. Arthur and Mooncalfe are produced that night. This tale follows the growth to womanhood of Mooncalfe.Excellent crafting and editing. Four out of five units of gratitude.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great take on an Arthur tale.By R. A. MeenanThis is the first Dave Farland book I've ever read, but I'll tell you, it was a blast to read. I loved the descriptions of the girl and the surrounding area, and it was a fun take on an Arthur story.Character personalities were also excellent, and you really felt the emotions they carried, especially our main character and her mother. I'd love to see more from this particular universe! "The Mooncalfe" - An Arthurian tale of Merlin's daughter. "Nightingale is thrilling ride of a novelwith plenty of twists, action, and amazing characters.nbsp; I burned through it. Highly recommended!" --JamesDashnernbsp;"Farland has created a vivid, detailed, different worldthat becomes perfectly believable." --David Drake, author of The GodsReturn on The Runelords "[David Farland] can dispense the flash and dazzle of space opera while atthe same time providing tough, real, sympathetic characters."-- Hugo andNebula Winner Roger Zelazny. on The Golden Queen Trilogy"A first-rate tale, an epic fantasy that more than delivers on itspromise."--Terry Brooks on The Runelords"By keeping his moral vision firmly wedded to a gripping plot, Wolvertoncreates speculative fiction with both emotional depth and resonance."-- Publisher'sWeekly on On My Way to Paradise "No one who has read Dave Wolverton doubts that his is a majortalent."nbsp; --Algis Budrys on Serpent CatchAbout the AuthorDavid Farland is an award-winning, New York TimesBestselling Author with over 50 novels in print.

Thought-provokingBy P. J. ScottInteresting and thought-provoking short story, not at all what I expected but what speculative fiction should be.I will definitely be reading more from this author.Highly recommend.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One of Farland's best short storiesBy Trent Walters"We Blazed" tells the story of two immortals who promised to love each other forever. The speculative conceit here initially feels familiar, but once Farland pushes it further, it gets intense. The ending seals the deal. The unicorn in the picture is more metaphorical than literal but it plays fairly well and helps make the story resonate for the reader.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent short story! David got me reading fiction again. He is the true master of creating worlds....By C. JackThis story is an example why David Farland is so popular and so good. He understands how to craft a story that grabs you and drags you along...willingly. I couldn't put this one down until it was done. The imagery, the pace, the twists...it all works.David got me reading fiction again.

  • The Leading Edge—Thoughts and Memories Jonathan Langford, December 2011
    The Leading Edge— Jonathan Langford Thoughts and Memories Leading Edge History 49, M 7 December 2011 Founding Staff Member Yahoo! Inbox Stranger Personal Data: Jonathan Langford was first mentioned to me in my interview with Dave Doering and Linda Adams. Although I still have not met Jonathan, Linda sent us an email that put us in contact. Social Data: I imagine a mysterious, dark castle with haze and lightning—the lair of a master freelance writer. But of course I have no idea what Jonathan’s personal space looks like. Cultural Data: BYU Studies is one of the many magazines produced on BYU campus; however, while students do contribute to the editorial process, it is not a student-run journal. The “Cougareat” is BYU’s food court. Item: Linda Adams put me in contact with Jonathan, and though I was not able to interview him personally, he was kind enough to send me the following article (the only changes made are to the fonts): The Leading Edge—Thoughts and Memories Jonathan Langford, December 2011 Summary of My Involvement I first entered BYU as a rather undisciplined 16-year-old during the summer of 1978. At that time, I was a political science major, anticipating a possible career in politics. During the winter of 1980, however (my last semester at BYU prior to my mission to Italy), I became involved in a science fiction club at BYU, where a few of us would sit around and talk about books (a personal long-time interest and vice). It was fun. The next time I was on the BYU campus was April 1981, on my way into the Missionary Training Center.

  • REVIEWS a Survey of Mainstream Children's Books by LDS Authors. Reviewed by Stacy Whitman, an Editor at Mirrorstone, Which
    REVIEWS A Survey of Mainstream Children’s Books by LDS Authors. Reviewed by Stacy Whitman, an editor at Mirrorstone, which publishes fantasy for children and young adults. She holds a master’s degree in children’s literature from Simmons College. A slightly modified version of this review was posted on By Common Consent, December 20, 2007 {http://www.bycommonconsent. com}. If you’re at all familiar with literary talk these days, you might be aware of the chatter about children’s and young adult literature1 being the hot new thing. Everyone’s wondering what will be the “next Harry Potter.” What was once a ghettoized field of study—because children are a self-perpetuat- ing lower class, and literature for children must therefore serve a purpose (teach a lesson or make kids get good grades)—is now legitimate at many institutes of higher learning. Adults are getting reading recommendations from children and teens, and vice versa. Despite frenzied reports to the contrary, reading is not dead among the younger set. When people ask what I do for a living, invariably the reaction to my answer—that I’m a children’s book editor—is “how exciting!”—espe- cially when I say that I edit children’s and young adult fantasy novels. It is exciting. We’re living in a golden age of children’s and young adult litera- ture, full of breathtaking storytelling and artistry. And some of the leading names in this golden age are authors who happen to be Mormons. When I read submissions at work, any variation on “the moral of this story is .

  • Mass Book Signing 33 Grid Schedule 22 Acknowledgments 42
    Letter from the Chair Dearest LTUE-ians, Another Presidents’ Day weekend is upon us, and I am thrilled that I get to spend it with you. A few years ago, I took a job out of state in possibly the least bookish and un-nerdiest city ever. After living in a town that recently announced its new mayor with a Star Wars parody, I found myself alone. I didn’t feel like I had much in common with anyone. I struggled to connect with people, and I began to wonder if maybe I was delusional for thinking that anyone else might like dragons, monsters, and spaceships. But every year, I made the trek back to Utah, and every year, I was delighted to rediscover my people. People who love to read, write, draw, and game all kinds of lovely weirdness. You, you glorious land mermaids, gave me hope. You gave me a place, and for that, I am everlastingly grateful. I hope that you too find friends old and new this year at LTUE. Flash forward to this year, and as chair, the LTUE community came through for me once again. Nothing would have been possible without the LTUE committee behind me. Every panel, poster, and pancake here crawled out of the brain of one of our volunteers, and I am honored to work with such talented and dedicated individuals. I especially want to thank Kate for raising the bar on all fronts, Jenna for being willing to tame a monster of a track, Kevin for putting up with our eccentricities, Mike for pulling order from chaos, and Elizabeth D.
