I would like to take a moment to congratulate my friend Stephen Zimmer for a bit of good publicity concerning his upcoming release Dream of Legends. The book is featured on “The Ranting Dragon” as one of the five most anticipated releases for December 2010.  While this may not seem like a big deal to some, as a fellow independent, please let me assure you that praise of this kind is a rare and valuable commodity.  Glen Cook and Mike Resnick are two of the biggest names in all of Sci-Fi/Fantasy literature, and to make any list with them is high praise indeed.

Stephen is one of the hardest working people I know, and he deserves success and good fortune to come his way.  If you’re looking for a good book for a Christmas present, check out his Fires in Eden series.  Fans of epic fantasy won’t be disappointed.
