A co-publication of Harvardwood Books and Unlimited Publishing LLC, this novel is a remarkable witch's brew of supernatural, Christian, classical and scientific arcana, served up at an all-too-real Midwestern military school. "An occult thriller, scary, learned, and charitable in the true tradition of Charles Williams and his fellow Inklings," wrote T.A. Shippey, editor of The Oxford Book of Fantasy Stories. "Intellectual and literary, Rough Magicke juxtaposes the arcane and the sacred while providing a glimpse of the divine. It's Dead Poets Society with a dash of Harry Potter and The Name of the Rose." adds Mike Brotherton, author of Star Dragon (Tor Books, 2003) and Spider Star (2006). "Rough Magicke is Goodbye, Mr. Chips meets The Father Brown Mysteries, with the welcome and in fact sorely needed addition of witchcraft, telepathy, quicksand and magic rings," raves Mark O'Donnell

This is a beautiful compilation of the personal stories of many of the most famous and dedicated scientists of our times. The sea level is rising and the ocean is becoming more acidic, faster than we had predicted. I admired Ms. Very well written. I really enjoyed Books 1 & 2 of the series, and find #4 engrossing. I don't think it's accurate to call it [] romance, either. Having read a number of custody evaluation "how to" texts, I find that this book provided more of the "brass tacks" than any other book out there for someone with no experience or exposure to evaluations. Rafe and Laurel have been friends since they were young kids, that friendship turns into mo
