The Okal Rel Universe in evolution and in the world.

 


Magazines Canada has a PDF sample of the non-fiction content of issue 16 of
Neo-opsis. http://secure.magazinescanada.ca/magazines/ex111.pdf (This is one
of the 2009 issues.)

A fair number of SF Canada members are mentioned, or have their photo, in
this issue.

My daughter Jennifer Lott was home for the holidays and thrilled to find our subscription copy of the December 2009 edition of Neo-Opsis on our dining room table with her name listed on the cover along with the other authors. Jennifer's story about role-playing D&D characters is her first professional sale to make it into print.

I was also warmed and encourgaed by Stephanie Ann Johanson's review of Part 5: Far Arena in this edition of Neo-Opsis. Stephanie says "Far Arena is an excellent addition to the stories in the Okal Rel Saga. Characters seem changed in ways I didn't anticipate, and perhaps I didn't truly agree with the changes, but when I got to the end of the novel I was only disappointed that I now had to wait for the next book before I could continue my exploration of the Okal Rel universe."

Naturally curious about what she didn't agree with and how she'll respond to further developments in Part 6: Avim's Oath, due out from Edge in April 2010.

Neo-Opsis included it's "Neat Stuff" disk in Issue 16. Here's one of the pictures from the CONs section. That's me on the left and Paula Johanson on the right. Paula is the author of the Tower in the Crooked Wood from Bundoran Press.

Delighted to see copies of ORU books (like Courtesan Prince and Throne Price in this illustration) appear in the Neo-Opsis bookshelf, in the "reviews" section.
