How's a girl supposed to break a curse she doesn't know was placed on her in a past life? Bull's Labyrinth is the story of a love that survives three thousand years, an ancient Minoan curse, and modern corruption. In ancient Minoan Crete, Daedalus fell in love with a herding girl named Nikkis. Yes, that Daedalus-the master mason who built the great Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, who is said to have built the false cow in which the Minotaur was conceived, who is said to have constructed the labyrinth, who built working wings that lead to the death of his own son. Nikkis's love, intelligence, integrity, and irrepressible determination survive three thousand years of cursed existence into the present day. In modern Crete, her work as a researcher in ancient languages takes her to Greece. There, she her own fears and a curse she can't begin to understand. Only finding Daedalus, breaking their curse, and triumphing over corruption and international artifact smugglers will free them both from a cycle of pain and suffering set in motion by a corrupt king three thousand years ago. Early Praise for Bull's Labyrinth: "Look, I could explain why in detail, but let's skip that, and get right down to the real nitty-gritty: Eric Witchey's fantasy novel, Bull's Labyrinth, is a terrific book. Buy it, read it, enjoy it. You can thank me later." -New York Times Bestselling Author Steve Perry, Shadows of the Empire "Bull's Labyrinth is an extraordinary work, seamlessly blending myth and magic with ancient and modern times. It is a love story and an adventure story that spans generations and cultures, and explores the possibilities of fates come to fruition outside the constraints of time. Exquisitely researched and rich with atmospheric detail. Witchey has written an unputdownable tale. Highest recommendations." -Elizabeth Engstrom, author of Lizzie Borden, Candyland, and Baggage Check "The warp and weft of the tale Eric Witchey has woven in Bull's Labyrinth, set half in the present and half in ancient times, creates powerful, recurring intersections of the emotional themes of romance, and renders what is literally a distant classical tale into one compelling to present-day audiences. The struggle across time of two lovers against a curse meant to deny their passion carries readers through a mysterious tale of history, ancient magic, yearning, and hope, as well as modern love and desire." -Alan M. Clark, author of The Surgeon's Mate: A Dismemoir and A Brutal Chill in August.

One human soul and a little respect isn't too much to ask for, but both are hard to get if you've only been a death for a thousand years. Shunned by other grim reapers, Littlest Death yearns for the respect given to deaths who bring human souls from Overworld into Underworld. She has only been a grim reaper for a thousand years, but she works hard at the jobs she's given. Really hard! No other death gathers in MILLIONS of souls at a time like she does. Okay, they are just the souls of fungi, bacteria, and single-celled critters like amoebas, but—MILLIONS! If she could bring in just one human soul, the other deaths would stop looking down on her. She sets out to spy on the most accomplished death in the history of dying, Oldest Death. She figures she can learn a few things from him. And, of course, she does. She just doesn't learn what she thought she would learn, and the learning comes hard. Desperate to become a real death, frustrated by humans and their attachments to one another, hounded by a Hell Puppy, ridiculed by other deaths, and undermined by her own ambition, she journeys the Earth and the Underworld in search of a trick that will let her gain the respect she believes she deserves. Unfortunately, her actions hurt the living, undermine the natural order, and threaten the eternal flow of souls between life and death. By the time she understands the damage she's done, it may be too late to save herself and the souls she has hurt. An Afterlife Fantasy by award winning author Eric Witchey.

<p>The 25 incredibly talented authors and poets in this anthology aren’t politicians, policy wonks, or partisans. They're artists staring at the rising tide of fascism in the United States and asking you: “What kind of world do you want to live in tomorrow?” and “Who do you want to be today?” And they aren’t asking quietly.</p>
