Parliament of Wizards

Everyone has different ideas about wizards, but are they really all that different? Some subscribe to monthly clubs, some are brighter than they seem, some live for praise and acclaim, and others just want to protect those they love. Twenty-four stories of wizardly derring-do are found here, and all show wizards in different lights.Jonathan Langford is the wizard of Life, the Universe, & Everything and The Leading Edge. Parliament of Wizards is filled with daring and interesting tales of these magicians writ large, all of which we think he would love (especially the last story). Proceeds from this volume support LTUE's continuing missions of educating and helping writers, artists, editors, and other creatives in honing the skills needed to achieve success in the field of speculative fiction.Contents:The Smiling Wizard (essay) by Joe MonsonBeast of the Month by Wulf MoonBlood Oath by Sarah E.
