  Here is the video, fresh from Moon Books, which introduces a few of the authors whose stories feature in the forthcoming Black Magick  anthology edited by Raven Digitalis. The authors in this film are: Jaclyn Cimminelli, Miranda S Hewlitt, Rhea Troutman, Raven Digitalis himself, and myself (Adele Cosgrove-Bray). We were interviewed by Rachel Patterson via a secure video link, on Monday January 6th. I hope you enjoy watching the finished video, and will help the anthology by sharing it as widely as you can. The book is due out on March 1st, and all the authors involved in the project are hoping readers will enjoy it. Can I ask you to please consider writing a review? Whether you post your review on Amazon, Goodreads, or your social media site(s), this would really help to promote the book. Physically publishing a book is only a small part of the task; the most important job is getting people to be aware of it, and every review can really help with that.
