Welcome to the July - September '08 Issue of The Lorelei Signal.
Silver Burdans - Keir Alekseii Roopnarine

When the weight of the blade was the weight of the world, a mother accepted its burden; a warrior
carried it. And now, a woman lays it to rest.


Elegy for a Chaos Mage - Elizabeth Barrette

Poetry


Jarra - Barbara A. Barnett

Like other girls born with the gift of magic, Jarra has been spared from a life in the mines. But she may
face a worse fate if she cannot carry out the task she has been chosen to perform.


Snow - S.E. Ward

When the role of being a house-wife becomes even more a trap for women, Da Ming will risk her life
for only a few moments of freedom in the snow.


Simple Deception - Tina Morgan

Alls fair in love and war. Lady Jasmine is willing to perpetrate a simple deception in the name of both in
order to save her people.


Poppy Seeds - Edward Cox

The ways to destroy vampires are spelled in legends, but how do they survive in a modern world that
brings with it a new way to destroy them.


Sister of the Benevolent Gods - Ripley Patton

We all regress back to our childhood a little when reunited with our family of origin but for Adelpha that
family lives on The Mountain of the Gods where dysfunction is both divine and all powerful.  Can one
ex-immortal change the dynamics of the gods or will they manage to make her in their own image once
again?


Stories That Bind - Sandra Tayler

Is it the words that were written that define who and what the people and legends were or is it the
words that will be written that will allow them to become something more?
