Contracts and rules abound in the world of magic, as words become deeds through force of will. Lawyers have their own form of binding magic, and laws bind people and civilizations, even when those people and civilizations are thousands of years old.

From the upcoming book Let Fly the Arrow. In the story of Snow White & Rose Red, the two children find a bear dying in the winter cold, and bring it into their house. They nurse it back to health, and find the bear is an enchanted prince. Having been a bear, and a prince, I understood the story. I have to say, I look back at my years of enchantment, and find the kingdom I grew up in gone, and claw marks ravaged many I encountered. Perhaps I will have the time to try to undo some of the damage. Let Fly the Arrow is my upcoming book of poems from Long Sky Media. You can find my companion book of stories, Draw Back the Bow, on Apple Books and Kindle. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tony-jonick/support [https://anchor.fm/tony-jonick/support]

A quick palate cleanser from my book, Draw Back the Bow, following last week's epic finale, and the week before's huge meal. A very short 3 minute story of hatred, love, loss, and the inevitability of seltzer down your pants. I set this to release, but it never did. So now it’s a Christmas gift. Not sure what I'll be doing for the week between Christmas and New Year's. But I'll try to find something fun. If you like science fiction and fantastic stories, you'll love this book. Only $4.99 on Apple Books! https://books.apple.com/us/book/draw-back-the-bow/id1517241460. The book is also now available on Kindle. I am proud to have music in this episode from my friend Jon Hammond, jazz keyboardist extraordinare. He was kind enough to let me use Jennifer's Song. Jon is a master on the keys, and will tickle your earbones with great music.
