Just recieved: my contributor’s copy of the new issue of Realms of Fantasy, cover-dated December 2010. This is the issue which almost didn’t see print, seeing as how it was the last of the Tir na Nog era, and was in the works when the plug was pulled on that era of the magazine. This issue was published online as a free PDF, but after Realms was sold to Damnation Press, they were able to print this issue anyway.

Mind you, due to space and other considerations, my YA column for this issue was posted online, and temporarily posted on my website as well. Currently, it can be found here on the official Realms of Fantasy website, for those who didn’t catch it the first time around. In this installment, I covered:

Starcrossed by Elizabeth C. Bunce
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman
Thresholds by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
X-Isle by Steve Augarde
The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
The Blending Time by Michael Kinch
