Blue Kingdoms: Mages & Magic

Magic fills the Blue Kingdoms. Its tendrils reach through the islands, ensnaring the denizens of the World-Sea with effects both sublime and monstrous. Magic . . . • Pulses with the pull of the oars on a zombie slave ship. • Flows from a dying wizard into an unsuspecting princess. • Plagues a half-ogress blessed with uncanny strength. • Manifests as a seductive and deadly guardian. • Reveals itself too late to a shipwrecked mage. • Fuels the alchemical battle for the Philosopher’s Stone. • Appears in many forms . . . always when least expected. Delve into these pages and let our authors surprise and ensorcell you! Stephen D. Sullivan - Jean Rabe Donald J.

Since 1980, as a writer, artist, and editor, I've worked on some of the best known and most influential properties in the world, including: Dungeons & Dragons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars, The Simpsons, Middle Earth, Fantastic 4, Speed Racer, Thunderbirds, Dragonlance, Legend of the Five Rings, Iron Man, Darkwing Duck, Mage Knight, and many others. I've written (and published) more than 30 books and numerous short stories. I've won the Origins Award, gaming's highest honor, for my fantasy fiction twice: first for "The Lion" (the final book in the original L5R series), and then for my Mage Knight short story, "Podo & The Magic Shield." I created, wrote, and colored The Twilight Empire(tm) comic strip, which ran in Dragon magazine for more than 4 years. I can't even count (or remember) the number of comics and game projects I've worked on. All that is nice, but what really matters to me is that my readers enjoy my stories and art. I hope that you will give my work a try, and if you enjoy it -- and I feel confident you will -- please mention me to your friends. If you have questions or suggestions, you can contact me by writing to fanmail@stephendsullivan.com. Thanks! -- Steve Sullivan
