THE WARLOCK'S GRANDFATHER
Well... it's not technically a new story. I originally wrote this for The Warlock's Companion, but the editor didn't seem to think it was quite right for that volume. Fortunately, some years later, Roc Books did, for their anthology The Magic of Christmas. (I plead guilty to having added the snow and the Christmas tree for the occasion.) So here it is again, in case you'd like to know what Rod's eccentric grandfather was like.

THE AFTERLIFE OF SAINT VIDICON OF CATHODE
The Abbot of Gramarye seeks out an unknown legend about the founder of his order, St. Vidicon, in a short story I wrote for the 2004 Masters of Fantasy anthology. Much of this story got incorporated into Saint Vidicon to the Rescue, but without the Gramarye portions.
