Welcome!

Posted by: Jenny Schwartz
Here Be Magic. The magic of laughter, dreams, good books and friendship. This is the blog of a group of fantasy writers who all have books published or about to be published with Carina Press. Our writing covers everything from fairytale retellings to steampunk, paranormal to post-apocalyptic. We wander through history and down the streets of our hometowns, muttering “what if...?” We tangle ourselves and our characters in myth and legend, the ruins of ancient civilisations and the purely fantastical.

What this blog will be in the future, we simply don’t know. We hope it’ll be a community, a place for readers and writers to share what they love about the fantasy genre and what they hate – because there has to be a balance. You can’t have a hero without a villain, a happy ending without a heart-stopping moment of risk. You can’t love a genre without passionately exploring everything about it.

Here Be Magic is where we’ll share our adventures in writing fantasy and in reading it. And we hope you’ll share yours.

  7. [Tia serves tankard of absinthe, and hopes that is the appropriate drinking vessel for such a beverage.] Thanks everyone! We hope to make this place lots of fun.

  15. Seleste, I think vodka's safer, though I'll stick with my whiskey -- with ice since it's hot here in Australia.

    Dawn, I just looked at your website. It's gorgeous, so atmospheric.
