Born to believe in magic


We are born to believe in magic...and fairies and dragons. For everything about ourselves and world is fantastical from a child’s eyes.


It’s nothing but magical that tiny seeds should become trees. And water, ice. That rainbows should appear out of grey skies. That blueberries, strawberries and mushrooms should sprout freely from the forest floor to feed us.

That the children we are will become doctors, parents...perhaps even authors as we pluck dream worlds from infinity and set the processes in motion to make them reality.

Woe to all adults who lose touch with their sense of magic.

I invite you to join with me and a group of fellow science fiction and fantasy authors as we celebrate the summer solstice and all things magical. Romp through our social media platforms to find secrets words hidden in the sun graphic that when all collected and deciphered will spell out a quotation from a famous speculative fiction novel.

Solve the quotation and it could win you books...and money—$75.00 in hard U.S. currency, fact.

But better than that, more magical than that, it will introduce you to some great books by some awesome authors.

We ask that you connect with us not only by entering the contest, but if you like our blogs, follow us (there’s a button to the right of this posting that says ‘follow’), so we can continue to talk our magic to you through the words we post. Or, sign up for our newsletters, link to us through our twitter or facebook accounts, find us on Instagram.

Our dream is to share our magic with others and your secret powers can help us do that.
