A Knight's Tale

A Knight’s Tale

Heath Ledger stars as William Thatcher, a low-born 14th century squire who, in a fit of inspired spontaneity, replaces his deceased employer as the competitor at a jousting competition. Jousting is a pastime only permitted to knights, who are of noble birth, but Thatcher wins and decides to continue his new pursuits. With the help of his two fellow squire friends Wat and Roland, and none other than the gambling-addicted Geoffrey Chaucer, Thatcher has soon adopted a false identity and is winning one joust after another on his way to a championship in London.

The Birth House by Ami McKay

The Birth House
by Ami McKay

The Birth House is the story of Dora Rare, the first daughter to be born in five generations of Rares. As a child in an isolated village in Nova Scotia, she is drawn to Miss Babineau, an outspoken Acadian midwife with a gift for healing. Dora becomes Miss B.’s apprentice, and together they help the women of Scots Bay through infertility, difficult labours, breech births, unwanted pregnancies and even unfulfilling sex lives. Filled with details as compelling as they are surprising, The Birth House is an unforgettable tale of the struggles women have faced to have control of their own bodies and to keep the best parts of tradition alive in the world of modern medicine.

Nothing To Dread: A Niteblade Anthology

  • Dec. 3rd, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Magazines

The second anthology for Niteblade Magazine is now available!

Nothing To Dread

A teenage couple who will never grow up, and married couples together too long. The epitome of beauty, and a dream of dragons. A unique Christmas tree, and the secret behind the Clauses’ immortality.

Seen in with a not-quite-mad hatter, and out with a wish for the dawn, the tenth issue of Niteblade brings back some of the year’s favourites. Along with tales based on an image by Marge Simon, this collection of stories and poems plays around the edges of naughty and nice.

The anthology is available both in paperback and PDF.

I’m biased, of course, but I think it’s a great collection ^_^

I can see why they ban revision during NaNo. It leads to very unimpressive word count gains :)

I think now that a class submission is out of the way, I’ll let what’s currently one on Project Two stand and keep going.
