Angelika gripped her sword as she gazed at the temple door. The Helzig outside were trying to break it down, and the booms of their battering ram echoed through the temple and periodically made dust fall from the ceiling. Angelika kept her face free of emotion. She was the last free Primean Knight in the Southern Provinces, and the remaining city guards were looking to her for inspiration. Behind the ragtag group of soldiers, the entire population of the city sheltered. Men, women, and children were packed into the temple. Some were crying, while others comforted their loved ones. The priests made their way through the press of bodies, trying to calm those they could.
Suddenly, the battering stopped. Eerie silence filled the temple. In some foolish part of her mind, Angelika hoped that the Helreign forced had suddenly decided to retreat, that rein

A Guide to Frolicking
Throughout my years, I've noticed humans and elves are not so diverse. Looking past psychical differences, we discover many similarities between our two races. We all require air to breath, food to stay strong, and company to keep us happy. But there is one thing which humans and elves will never be equals on. That is: Frolicking. Most humans simply mistake the frolic for a common skip. This is not so. There are many rules and restrictions to a proper frolic and so many variations of the frolic itself. I have taken it upon myself t

My name is Nathan Long, and I write books for the Black Library, the people who publish novels set in the Warhammer and Warhammer 40k universes. My newest Warhammer series is about Ulrika the Vampire. Book One, Bloodborn, came out last year, and to celebrate the upcoming release of Book Two, Bloodforged, I'm holding an art contest with signed books and posters as prizes.
Here are the details, and if you want to see pictures of Ulrika or if you want to contact me with questions, visit my blog here:
http://sabrepunk.com/?p=855
I am looking for the best Ulrika artwork and best Ulrika miniature conversion, and I will be giving out cool prizes to the winners and runners up in both categories.
Both art and miniatures should represent Ulrika, armed and dangerous, as described in Bloodborn or Bloodforged and shown on the covers. There should be no nudity or excessive violence (this is a family show) but the rest is at your discretion.
The contest will run from now until Monday,

He pulled his dull grey coat straight and tied his doo rag at the back of his head, instantly feeling better than the night before.

Every aspiring writer has met her at least once, whether in his own works or in those of others. The alluring temptation of a perfect character taunts the author from one side while his muse urges him to keep writing from the other. Who wouldn't love her? She's the most beautiful, talented, fantastic woman in the universe, with not a flaw in sight. Every woman wants to be her; every man wants to marry her, so why would anyone want to kill her?
