Background painting depicts a nude woman riding sidesaddle along a medieval street, arms crossed over her chest, the white horse being led by a nun in dark robes and a white wimple. In foreground, the book BEHELD: GODIVA'S STORY by Christopher M. Cevasco, in color, is alongside a quote by Michelle Moran, international bestselling author of NEFERTITI: "What a brilliant read!...the 11th century has never felt darker or more alive. BEHELD is one of the best historical thrillers I've read in a very long time."

I'm very saddened to learn that prolific British author & academic 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 has died. I was honored to be able to publish one of his medieval horror stories, "The Power of Prayer," in the debut issue of 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘹 way back in 2003.

Just finished reading THE GLASS HOTEL by Emily St. John Mandel. What a beautiful, disquieting, insightful, heartbreaking book. This one will stay with me for a while...
