Magic at War —
A Universe from the Mind of Celtic Bard
Magic has gone underground since the time of the Rise of Christendom. As such, it is much more subtle than it was in the days of yore. The stories of this Universe reflect that. They take place in an alternate reality not very different than this one and have each of the following characteristics:
1. Magic is involved in one way or another, either subtly, secretive, or blended seemlessly with modern technology.
2. The main character is either in the military or part of a military family.
3. All of the stories take place sometime between the end of World War II and the present.
If you are an author with an interest in posting a story in this Universe, e-mail me your pen name and I will open it up for you.
