Raymond St. Elmo
Sybel and Coren.
She is an enchantress, with a household of magical animals. She lives alone on a mountaintop, with all she needs.
He is a soldier, and a seventh son; wise yet simple.
Oh, people; when they meet, they are so young, and neither really knows what they have, nor what they want; and yet whenever they pursue a dream they keep meeting.
And each meeting is like music rising slowly to create a theme of love and longing, tragic and sweet, a dance of magic beasts with wise eyes that know the heart.
Ha!

Raymond St. Elmo:
One of the things I love about your novels is the imbedded flash fiction, for example, the student essays in Elysium, or the weird little decrypted fairy tales in The Origin of Birds. So, two questions . . . are you a fan of Donald Barthelme, by any chance, and have you ever thought about writing a collection of flash fiction stories?
