Sorcerous Signals x2

My short story "After Zander" appears in the January 2011 issue, with art by Holly Eddy.

Something in Zandar is at work, it was whispered, that orders things so that when a man arrives there, he finds what things he remembers fondest, and the greatest of his unfulfilled hopes...there is a little more to the tale, a part I often ignored, that said a man who visits Zandar must sacrifice the land of his past, his home. But there were many men on the docks of Nurathaipolis, I reasoned, and surely many of them were native, and surely some of them had been to Zandar and back.
