Speaking of shapeshifters, here's a good selkie story by Laurie J. Marks available on the web: How the Ocean Loved Margie.

I'm excited to learn that Lethe Press is releasing Point of Knives, a follow-up to Melissa Scott's novels with her partner Lisa Barnett (who passed away several yeara ago).  Here's a blurb:

"A welcome return to the vividly realized city of Astreiant with its intricate magics and deadly politics. Point of Knives takes place in the interval between the widely praised earlier novels Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams. A fantastical mystery and a rousing adventure, Point of Knives also reveals for the first time the beginning of the romance between Adjunct Point Nicolas Rathe and ex-soldier Philip Eslingen."

I love this series- supernatural and sleuthy, with a gay touch.  Just have to wait until July...
