Third Time Lucky (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A reluctant wizard must live up to her powers in this fantasy story collection from the author whose Blood Books inspired the TV series Blood Ties. There's a lot of responsibility involved with being the most powerful wizard in the world, and Magdelene wants nothing to do with any of it. Lazy, lusty, and more likely to be found lying in the sun than casting runes or sacrificing unfortunate goats, she'd really rather avoid dealing with challenges, errant apprentices, demons, dragons, death, and bureaucracy. These seven stories include "Third Time Lucky," Tanya Huff's first professional sale to George Scithers at Amazing Stories. Thirty years, thirty novels, eighty-three short stories, and one television show later, this is where it all began. Stories included are "The Last Lesson"; "Be It Ever So Humble"; "Mirror, Mirror, on the Lam"; "Third Time Lucky"; "And Who is Joah?"; "Nothing Up Her Sleeve"; and "We Two May Meet." Long-time Tanya Huff fans may recognize many of these stories from the long out-of-print collection Stealing Magic. Each story here is accompanied by an author note, brand new for this release. "Light, fun stories that made me smile both because they are witty in a relaxed, slightly bawdy sort of way and because they disassemble traditional power models with a wink and a cocky smile." -Mike Finn's Fiction

Autorenporträt

Although she left Nova Scotia at three, and has lived most of her life since in Ontario, Tanya Huff still considers herself a Maritimer. On the way to the idyllic rural existence she shares with her partner Fiona Patton, six cats, and a Chihuahua, she acquired a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnic-an education she was happy to finally use when writing her SMOKE novels. Of her previous twenty-three books, the five BLOOD novels featuring Henry Fitzroy, a bastard son of Henry VIII, romance writer, and vampire, are among the most popular. In fact these books became so popular that they inspired the TV series, Blood Ties.
