Happy Friday! We hope you enjoyed our coverage of David Anthony Durham's Acacia trilogy this week--we would definitely encourage you to check it out, particularly if epic fantasy is your thing.

Also exciting this week--Kat Howard, our content editor, has a story out at Beneath Ceaseless Skies.  It's entitled "The Calendar of Saints," and it's an alternate history story.  Congratulations, Kat!
