"Addictions" is an interesting piece for me. I wanted to go dark with it, go someplace I hadn't before. I believe it started with a cigarette. Not mine, as I don't smoke, but an imagine of a man who so wanted a cigarette badly he was willing to tell a deep, dark secret. I spun this urban fantasy, also, because of a female friend who enjoys writing serial killers, and I was hoping to impress her. I didn't. This was the first of three stories published in Tales of the Talisman magazine. This story took honors in the Without a Box, "Gimme Credit" screenplay contest and was almost made into a film by a college film club.

Tales of the Talisman's second year starts with a changeling who grows up and wants to go home. Join a vampire Pinkerton agent who's looking for a new pair of boots. With them, step on in, but mind the eyeballs in the carpet. You might even find a little joy in this issue. A World of enchantment awaits. Take up the talisman and discover a world of magic!
