Blue Kingdoms: Shades & Specters - Softcover

Between twilight and dawn, half-glimpsed things lurk in the swirling sea mist, long-dead things that have clawed their way out of the darkest abyss, things that were better left entombed. In this second volume of Blue Kingdoms Stories, you'll find a host of specters, ghosts, monsters, and more . . . guaranteed to shiver your timbers. Sail the Azure Sea with our ghoulish crew of tale-spinners: Robert E. Vardeman - Paul Genesse - Lorelei Shannon - James M. Ward - Dean Leggett - Jason Mical - Kelly Swails - Marc Tassin - Brandie Tarvin - Kathy Watness - and Jean Rabe & Stephen D. Sullivan.

Editor Stephen D. Sullivan has been a professional writer, illustrator, and swashbuckler since 1980. He is the author of more than thirty published novels and numerous comic books. His recent projects include Martian Knights, Spider Riders, and Iron Man. He has won the Origins Award—adventure gaming’s highest honor—twice, first for his samurai fantasy novel The Lion, and later for his Mage Knight short story “Podo and the Magic Shield.” His novel, Dragonlance: Warrior’s Heart, was nominated for a 2006 Scribe Award. The second book in that trilogy, Dragonlance: Warrior’s Blood was cited by the Detroit Free Press as a novel Harry Potter fans would enjoy. Steve’s upcoming books include Frost Harrow™: Dream Lover, A Season of Fear, and the final book in the Catriona trilogy, Dragonlance: Warrior’s Bones. Steve lives in haunted Frosthaven, Wisconsin, with his wife and two children. More information about Steve and his work can be found at www.stephendsullivan.com. Editor Jean Rabe is the author of two dozen novels and more than forty short stories. When not writing on an outdated computer—which isn’t often—she tugs ferociously on old socks with her two dogs, visits museums, listens to country music, and pretends to garden. She has a growing stack of to-be-read books that she occasionally manages to put a dent in. Jean loves movies “that blow up real good,” indulges in fantasy football leagues, plays all sorts of boardgames, injures innocent bushes when she weed-whacks, and loathes shoes.
