Fugure for the Sacred Songbook, Keith A. Robinson
Reviewed

Fugue for the Sacred Songbook in Eb Minor

Followers of the Great Composer seek to stop the evil Tritonus Overlords in a universe where music flows through creation.
“Fugue for the Sacred Songbook plays a lyrical read, though without much subtlety regarding the author’s ideas.”

Sorrowfish, Anne C. Miles
Reviewed

Sorrowfish

A bard. A wizard. And a college student from Kentucky.
“A twist to the familiar notion of secret passages between our humdrum world and a magical world . . . Sorrowfish is a creative, empathetic fantasy.”

Reviewed

Prelude and Abduction in A Minor

In a universe where music can manipulate nature, ancient Overlords plot to recover powerful artifacts and wage war against the followers of the Great Composer!
“Prelude and Abduction: in A Minor strikes up a distinctive melody in the key of Star Wars by providing music-based powers to alien races in conflict.”

Reviewed

Orphan’s Song

Every generation has a Songkeeper – one chosen to keep the memory of the Song alive. And in every generation, there are those who seek to destroy the chosen one.
