Marion now (Text Rossi continued)

For many people (including me), it is a pity that Marion spends now most of her time working as an editor. She has published many anthologies of science-fiction and fantasy short stories ... The main reason that had reduced Marion's writing activities is her health. In the past years, she had several strokes.

She works now on the Marion Zimmer Bradley's FANTASY Magazine, which has a web page at the following URL: http://www.mzbfm.com/

M any readers of the book may have come to the conclusion that Mrs. Bradley herself might be a follower of the old nature- religion she describes so lively. Therefor here follows a quotation from the MZB's Fantasy Magazine home page "Frequently Asked Questions":

How can I find out more about Goddess worship?
The Covenant of the Goddess has a series of web pages with information about Goddess worship, witchcraft, and covens. And no, Mrs. Bradley does not belong to any of them; she's a Christian.

Sorry- but this is the only way to avoid popping up windows! ;-))
