Tales of the Talisman 5-3

The holidays are fast approaching and we know how busy they can be. At Tales of the Talisman, we're more than happy to take you on a journey out of this world as we celebrate the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. Join Deborah P. Kolodji as she takes you to Mars and introduces you to a cook who faces the challenge of preparing broccoli, colored orange by the red soil. Hopefully you'll get everything you want this holiday season and perhaps some of it will require insurance. If so, David B. Riley recommends Gompers Insurance Company. After all, if they'll insure a war on a distant world, surely theyll insure the valuables you get from Santa! Perhaps you'd rather not leave the planet and just take a seaside holiday. If so, we'll be happy to take you to Charlmouth. However, author Barbara Davies warns us that a kraken has been seen guarding the bay. Fourteen stories and fourteen poems in all await you in the winter issue of Tales of the Talisman.
