Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Whether your magical system is based on science, mythology or a combination of both, you'll find this volume full of helpful advice. Imaginative chapters cover topics such as worldly magical flavors, magical beasts and cursing (though probably not the kind you're thinking!).

Being a definitive research tool, each chapter digs into techniques, methodology and gentle reminders on how to write a better fantasy using magical systems.


About the Author
Dave A. Law is a published writer and editor whose short stories, poetry, articles, and comic books have seen print in various publications over the last two decades. He has a BSc in Computer Information Systems with highest honors and works as a software developer. He currently runs a software company for writers, Intellectus Enterprises, is chairman of an e-publisher, Virtual Tales, and sits on the editorial board of Flash Me Magazine. He lives in Calgary, Canada with wife and two daughters.

Valerie Griswold-Ford was born in South Carolina, and raised in New England. She inherited several things from her bibliophile parents: a love of books, and a talent for telling stories. Both contributed to an early start to her writing career. After writing short fiction and her first novel in high school, Val switched to journalism in college.
