Liquid Imagination began long before the idea for this ezine
existed within the minds of its creator and editors, and Liquid
Imagination will exist LONG after this ezine comes to an end.
Liquid Imagination pours from the writer’s heart and fills the
bristles of the painter’s brush. Liquid Imagination calls from the
mysterious night, swoops across the silver splendor of the moon,
and nests in the confines of your mind. Here there be dragons—
and faeries… lots of faeries. Trolls and vampires. And artwork.
Oh, such art to make your eyes bleed with joy!

**************************************************
Liquid Imagination Mission: to fuse written
art with visible art; to combine written
stories and poems with photography or
artwork, so that both enhance each other
creating (hopefully) a new form of art. The
stories, poems, photography and artwork
we publish is modern day fantasy. We
intend for reality to blur with fantasy. We
hope you study each piece of art, each
photograph, let your mind wander. What
type of story would you write based on the
pictures? What sort of poem do the
photographs make you want to write? After
considering that, let go your inhibitions, kick
off your shoes, and let Liquid Imagination
flow from the minds of the artists, writers
and poets into your own mind. Go with the
flow, feel the current take you where it
wishes your mind to go. Relax. Reality will
call upon you soon enough. For now, it is
enough to lose yourself in the words and
vision of Liquid Imagination.

In each issue of Liquid Imagination we
will interview someone of importance in
the world of fantasy. We attempt to
strip their guard and reveal their hearts
and minds, the genius that propelled
them to write or create, and determine
what drives them. In this issue we
interview Bram Stoker Finalist Fran
Friel and review her book "Mama's
Boy." We also look at the talented
artist Nene Thomas, interviewing her
and showcasing her wondrous artwork.
We are also promoting novelist James
Morrow (Nebula and World Fantasy
Award winner), whom has graciously
allowed us to interview him in issue no.
2 coming out in February.
Sophia is here, too. You met her on
the front page. Who is she? What is
she? Just a muse? The answer may
surprise you, but her true identity will
not be revealed right away; that is how
muses are. They like to keep you
guessing. But I can tell you this: she
knows you intimately.
Drink with me. Drink in the stories and
poetry and artwork. It is imagination
liquefied, guaranteed to satisfy your
craving for something beyond reality.
