About Wings of Morning Tales of power and magic often
speak of transitions. Magicians pass from day
into night, from dark into dawn—they stand on the threshold of change and cast their
spells. The stories we usually tell about our
heroes are the flashy ones, the calling of the lightning tales, the riding of the storm
saga, the splitting the earth and swallowing the enemy whole adventures.
From a cherished letter to the author about Night
Calls and Kindred Rites, two novels of
Alfreda Golden-Tongue, the protagonist of “Ducks”—
“The likeness of your people to those of Manly Wade Wellman is
strong—though he dealt mainly with male characters and I found your women really more
interesting and thoroughly believable.
“...I have on order both volumes to send to a Wiccan friend who I am sure will
find them absorbing reading. Do you intend to
continue this series? I trust that is so.
“And I want to thank you very much for introducing me to your world.”
