Have launched their new book line with a bang. The first book in their burgeoning lineup is the long-awaited, huge masterpiece of fantasy by TSR author Paul Kidd, "A Whisper of Wings". It's available NOW, orderable through either your local bookstore or through Amazon.com (helpful URL's and bookstore-ordering information provided at the end of this message). "A Whisper of Wings" chronicles a time of spiritual crisis in the lives of a non-human race of hunter/gatherers known as the Kashra. As disaster looms over their stagnant and calcified culture, two Messiahs arise -- each one pure in their vision, and tragically opposed. War and terror, hope and love, power and majesty vie in a conflict that will tear a people asunder and remake them again in the fires of conflict. Illustrated with 20 full-page plates by the renowned artist Terrie Smith, "Whisper" looks to be a tremendous hit.

The second book in Vision's lineup, Barb Hendee's "Blood Memories", follows closely on the heels of "Whisper" -- at the time of this writing, it is just clearing the printer's, and will be available on Amazon.com (and orderable through bookstores) next week. "Blood Memories" is a chilling story of vampires in the modern day world, and marks Vision's first offering in the Horror market.

The third book, which is even now about to hit the presses, is Paul Kidd's amazing "Rats of Acomar", the first book in the Mornmist shared world created by Fantasy legends Lynn Abbey (Creator of Thieves' World) and Ed Greenwood (Creator of TSR's Forgotten Realms). It will soon be followed by several other books in the series by Elaine Cunningham, Jeff Grubb, Mary Herbert and more.

Once these titles are on the shelves, Vision has plans to publish the long-awaited 26th book in the GOR series, "Witness of Gor", and simultaneously release Gor Magazine, it's digitally-colored graphic fantasy magazine, based on past books in the Gor series, produced in concert with the author himself, John Norman.
