NewMyths.com ( www.newmyths.com )A quarterly ezine by a community of writers, poets and artists.

NewMyths.com publishes speculative fiction of every stripe except graphic horror. We like each issue to have an eclectic variety of stories: funny, frightening, hard and soft sci-fi, adventure, thoughtful, etc.

Every issue includes at least one nonfiction piece dealing with some aspect of science, myth, folklore, or literature as it relates to speculative fiction, usually of the well-researched essay variety rather than opinion or editorial. Speculative poetry is welcome. We tend to receive a lot of free verse and not enough "form" poetry.

We also buy one piece of artwork per issue, and occasionally commission one. We publish book reviews of recent releases about every two weeks. If you have written a review, or have a book coming out soon, please contact us. (MORE...)

Charlotte's Cove ( Full Story Link )Reflection's Edge, September 2007 and Midnight Times, Winter 2009

A ghost story set in beautiful Nova Scotia. Ghost Lady said that Mary-Anne was born with a slide rule instead of a brain, meaning that she was practical and didn’t believe in magic or fey creatures. But when Mary-Anne hears Ghost Lady’s legend of the Mi’kmaq warrior and his bride, she is spun into a paranormal web which spans 14 years – from her young life in Charlotte’s Cove when Leviathan snatches away her best friend, until she returns years later to confront a ghost and a friend driven mad from loss.

Charlotte's Cove was accepted by both Reflection's Edge (September 2007 issue) and Midnight Times for its winter issue. I named it for my grandmother, Charlotte Moulton Mathis. (MORE...)

The Rancho San Felipe Project ( AMAZON, )by Sarah Duque and Scott T. Barnes. A Story of California 100 Years Ago, fourth-grade reader, illustrated novel, 2013.

A tale of adventure and an unlikely friendship on one of California's last ranchos. In fourth grade California students study the state's history including the missions and ranchos. However, few tales from this period have been written down. Rancho San Felipe is a true story of a 1905 adventure told by the daughter of the hero. Woman-of-the-year winner Sarah Duque's delightful full-color illustrations make this true story equally appropriate as a fourth-grade reader and a read-aloud book. Includes a map, vocabulary, and brands used to identify cattle. Forty pages.

Rancho San Felipe is available in 11" by 9 1/4" hardcover through the publisher, New Myths Publishing. Discounts available for schools, libraries, bulk sales and other educational institutions. (MORE...)
