Book View Cafe Adds Judith Tarr to Line-up

Book View Cafe is pleased to announce the addition of Judith Tarr to the roster of authors presenting work for free at its website. Tarr will be the second new author Book View Cafe has invited since its initial launch last November. Alma Alexander was added in May.

Tarr is the author of numerous fantasy and historical novels and stories including The Hound and the Falcon trilogy, World Fantasy Nominee Lord of the Two Lands, and most recently Queen of the Amazons and Bring Down the Sun. She also writes as Caitlin Brennan (The Mountain's Call and sequels from LUNA) and Kathleen Bryan (The Serpent and the Rose and sequels from Tor).

Tarr’s first offering at Book View Cafe will be her short story, “Classical Horses,” which posted on Wednesday, June 10. “Classical Horses” was first published in the 1991 DAW anthology, HorseFantastic, edited by Martin and Rosalind Greenberg.

I'm delighted to be part of this venture, and will be posting a weekly blog on "Horses for Writers" starting on Monday the 15th. Come and see!

What a lovely story! You almost made me cry.

Thank you for the story, and offering it on the web. I've told my writing board about Book View Cafe, already, and I hope you have plenty of visitors.

Thank you! BVC is great and has some amazing authors offering unusual things.

That is wonderful.

Great news! I am always recommending "Classical Horses" to people, and now I can finally point them to a place where it can be found.

Of course, by going over to the Cafe, I ended up reading it again. It really is my favourite short story ever, and it never fails to make me misty-eyed. Since I want to be vague for those who may not have read it yet, did you ever consider writing anything else related to the source material?

It also makes me kick myself more than usual for not continuing with Latin and Greek (I just have to start over at some point), and to make a decision about the Masters thesis. ;)

Oh, damn. Now I'm crying and late turning out my own pair of Immortals. ^_~

God, you're a good writer, Judy. *cries all over everything* And congratulations for becoming part of BVC. How utterly, utterly awesome. :)

Classical horses is one of my favorite, all-time stories.

[buymeaclue.livejournal.com]

I so did not know this. But it makes sense, really... huh. And yes, I have all of those books.}:P

[dancinghorse.livejournal.com]

Clearly you are a person of taste and discernment. :)

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Well, I certainly try to be anyway}:P

YAY!!!!!!!!!

I had not read Classical Horses before. Incredible story. You've captured the essence of why horses touch people and what it means when you find a horse you connect with.

[windrose.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!!!!

[tcastleb.livejournal.com]

Awww. Lovely story. And congrats on BVC!

I just read "Classical Horses" and pretty much bawled the entire way through it. I'm glad nobody showed up with a delivery at the office hah. (I miss horses so damn much) That is an exquisite story. It reminded me of my anam cara pony from college, Mozart.

Wonderful!

I have the old anthology that "Classical Horses" is published in on my bookshelf. I haven't read it in years so I didn't realize that you had written it. I'll have to pull it out now to re-read in the near future.

[sfmarty.livejournal.com]

followed the link. "Welcome sfmarty" "you are not authorized to view this resource" Grumble.

Humph. Guess I shall have to reread it in the original anthology.

"A yard full of Lipizzans" written, as I recall, before you had Capria.

I think of that phrase from time to time, and gloat for you.

If you're a member and it says you're not authorized, there is A Problem. It's an open file available to all.

You should contact the Goddesses of BVC and get this fixed.
