Deadline: April 1st, 2024 Payment: Royalties Theme: Speculative Fiction about Tarot Tarot cards have long been looked upon as a window to the past and future of human existence. Fortune tellers of old have utilized the power within the cards to advise or warn away inquisitive souls from the potential folly of their choices. What happens when the power of the cards escapes into the realm of humanity with the desire to play out their core intentions on the unsuspecting? A mortal once controlled the power of the past, present, and future. In his innocent desire for companionship, he made a mistake: he got too close to his creation and lost control. The foolish mortal’s artistic magic escaped the confines of the cards and trapped their maker to pursue their magical intent. Walking carnations of the major arcana of the tarot are free to roam and manipulate the mortal world without the constraints of their maker, who has been recreated as The Fool. The Magician, the first excommunicated card, will do anything to free his friend from the confines of art. But can he convince the others to put aside their petty urges and use their magic to help, even if it puts their livelihood at risk? Or have the cards become too accustomed to life in the modern world to allow anything, or anyone, to send them back to a one-dimensional life? The tarot is the only magic left in the mortal world, and they’ve had their way with it for a long time… We’re looking for new, previously unpublished stories that take us on an adventure and leave us wanting more. Genre: Speculative Fiction Word Count: 5,000 – 10,000 Opening Essay by: TBD Edited by: Charity Ayres Anchor Author: TBD Due Date: April 1, 2024 Email submissions to: threeravenspublishing @ gmail dot com with “Tarot” in the subject line Payment: Stories selected for publication in the upcoming Anthology(ies), will receive a percentage of sales divided equally between the contributing authors. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We are looking for amazing stories from any genre that are fun to read and will take us on an adventure of epic proportions. Please download our standards template by clicking here ***NOTE*** We publish genre fiction with aspects of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. If your work does not include one of these aspects, we are less likely to pick up the title unless it is of exceptional quality. What we are NOT currently accepting: Poetry Single-author collections of short stories. Hard and fast rules of what not to send: Fan-fiction: Just simply don’t. It will be immediately deleted or tossed into the recycle bin. Gratuitous Sexuality: (i.e. smut, softcore porn) (Please, we know that there is a market out there for stories in this genre, but it’s not for us. Contact our affiliate, Tanglewood press for submissions in this genre at tanglewoodromance (at) gmail.com Gratuitous Abuse/Violence: While we at Three Ravens Publishing understand that graphic situations can alter or otherwise move the plot forward in ways that the reader may not expect when properly used, these elements should not, however, be the primary focus of the story. (i.e. torture porn). Discrimination: Again, whether racial, religious, social, etc., when used properly as a plot device can become a powerful tool in the authors arsenal, but should in no way become the focus of the story unless you’re writing something along the lines of “Schindler’s List”, “To Kill a Mockingbird” or “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. And we do understand that to be perfectly accurate, period pieces will contain such things because historically, that is what happened. It’s sad, but it’s the truth. Message Fiction: While we understand that everyone has their own stance on a myriad of subjects that can become very emotional and heated, we will not publish message fiction. Message fiction is defined as: Fiction that attempts to convey a sociopolitical message, as opposed to mere escapism. That being said, message fiction can crop up from many different topics.
The cut and dry of it. If it doesn’t add to the story, don’t do it. If the story itself is a platform for you as the author to get up on your soapbox, then don’t bother submiting the piece, because we don’t want it. Special Note: RPG and game-based stories: We do accept these types of stories; however, your submission may not violate any game’s copy written, or trademarked, content. (refer back to the line above on fan fiction. We do not want it and will not accept it.). As an example, you might have a character running around in one of the popular online multiplayer games. You might want to write a story about your character’s adventures. That, in itself, is fine. Do not mention characters, creatures or the game world itself. Rename them to something of your own creation. We do understand that the muse may strike at any time and that ideas can come from anywhere. So please, before submitting, ensure that what you have submitted will not violate any copyright or trademark laws. Reprints/previously published: We accept previously published works as long as you have the rights and can provide proof (if necessary). Other than that, we really want to see what you have. Payment rates: To be determined at the time of the contract and will be in the range of 50-70% of sales, and competitive with other publishing houses. The hard and fast rules of Submissions: If sending a Query letter, include a full synopsis of the story, the first three chapters as a writing sample and links to your social media pages. Response time may vary. Expect a reply within 9-18 months. We would prefer to see complete manuscripts that have already been somewhat edited by the author. Note: A contract offer will not be made based on a Query alone unless the work is of exceptional quality. Offers, in general, will only be made on completed works. Your submission must include your (Legal) name and your (Publication) name if using one, email address*, postal mailing address, and telephone number on both your cover letter and the first page of the manuscript. Include a plot outline if possible. *Also include links to all of your social media pages Spelling and grammar checkers are great, but they are not foolproof. Review your work for flow and content prior to submitting it. Minimal formatting, please! Indent paragraphs; single or double-spaced text is fine, though we prefer to use 1.15 spacing, with no extra lines between paragraphs; center chapter headers and scene break indicators (###, ***, etc.); use page breaks only at the end of chapters. For emphasis, choose either underline or italics and use it consistently throughout. Use straight quotes and apostrophes, … ., –, etc, no special characters, please! Times Roman 12pt is highly preferred. Make it readable, or we won’t read it. It’s that simple. If something specific requires special formatting then explain it in a cover letter. Please download our standards template by clicking here. Electronic Submissions: Neither disks or thumb drives will be reviewed, so do not send them unless requested. Our preferred method is by electronic submission, but we will accept a printed hardcopy. Attach the manuscript as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file. Any other format will not be considered. Send the manuscript as a single file (do not break it into separate chapter files), so any synopsis and contact info needs to be in the file with your manuscript. NOTE: Any viruses attached to your submission will send your manuscript straight into file-13. (For non-military members, that means the trash can.) Hardcopy Submissions: (for those who cannot submit electronically) Standard manuscript format only: double-spaced, one side of the page only, 1/2″ (i.e., 0.5″) margins on all four sides of the page. We will consider photocopies if they are dark and clear. Title, author (last name only is okay), and page number at the top of each page are mandatory. Include your name, mailing address, and telephone number on the first page.
Hardcopy manuscripts identified as “disposable” will be recycled. Disposable submissions should be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped, letter-sized envelope for our reply (please ensure proper postage has been supplied!). Manuscripts intended to be returned should be accompanied by self-addressed packaging and sufficient postage. We will not be responsible for any manuscripts lost or damaged in the mail. Return packages will not be insured, tracked or otherwise paid for by Three Ravens Publishing. Via: Three Ravens Publishing.

Johnnie Beattie, one of our best loved comedian/actor’s was born November 9th 1926 in Govan.
Johnny entertained Scotland since before I was but a glint in my auld man’s eye, in a career spanning 63 years, he worked as a comedian, singer, television games show host, after-dinner speaker, master of ceremonies and as an actor on stage, screen and television: quite an accomplishment for someone who left school aged 16 to begin work as an apprentice electrician at Fairfield’s shipyard in his native Govan.
After leaving St Gerard’s High School in Govan he joined the nearby dockyards in an apprenticeship, he got involved with amateur dramatics, and by the mid-1950s he had become a stand-up comedian and never looked back.
By the 60’s he had his own Saturday night spot on the BBC with Johnny Beattie’s Saturday Night Show, which featured him playing many different colourful characters, including his alter ego “Glaikit O'Toole”. My own mum loved his quiz show on STV, Now You See It, where I think the jackpot prize was £500! Johnny has also done some acting and of course one of the shows is that old Scottish favourite Taggart, and on the big screen in The Big Man. On the set of Scotch and Wry he struck up a friendship with Gregor Fisher and went on to appear along side him in Rab C Nesbitt.
More recently Johnny played Malcolm Hamilton in the Scottish soap opera River City, a role which he had starred in since the show began in 2002.
Beattie has also had a couple of hit songs in Scotland, including the brilliant Glasgow Rap, he is happily enjoying his retirement after leaving the aforementioned River City in 2015 after 13 years.
He also gave time to charitable causes and raised thousands of pounds for charities; the most notable of these were St Margaret of Scotland Hospice in Clydebank, the Scottish Show business Benevolent Fund and Friends of Winter Gardens in Rothesay, he was also president of the Scottish Music Hall Society – a role he held for many years.
I love this wee anecdote from the man, he tells the story of how he  was standing outside the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr in 1952….Suddenly, he was spotted by a wee wifey, who then approached him.
“It’s you! It’s definitely you.” “Yes, well, it is.” “Ah jist knew it was you.” “Yes, and you’re right. It’s me.” At this point,  Johnny said he took on a satisfied air, and prepared to sign an autograph. “Aye, I knew it was you,” added the wifey. “You were supposed to dae my windaes last week and you never showed up. Where the hell wur ye?”
At 93 Johnnie Beattie’s health was fading and he was admitted to the St Margaret’s Hospice in Clydebank where he died on 9th July 2020.

The Bell of Time never tolls for he who never dies.
I did not know of Technoblade for long, I knew of him more as the deep voiced tyrant killer who loved potatoes and bedwars and unleashed the hell that is a wither upon the world.
But for the time I knew of him, I came to find him as a source of spiteful positivity, a genuinely great person who cared deeply for his friends and fans. And also a huge nerd.
In the days since his passing, I am reminded of two key sayings/moments associated with passing of souls.
The first is a line from Krystal LaPorte after the passing of her partner, the talented and loving Christopher Ayres on a charity stream hosted by Ashley Nichols. She said quote “I know he would want everyone to just be happy because we’ll see him again someday. Why not collect as many stories and memories as possible to tell him?...Because hes gonna be bored. He’ll wanna hear all the cool shit we did.”
In his own way, Techno is waiting and watching over all the people he loved, and that includes us. But instead of sitting waiting for us, hes causing his anarchy as normal.
From memorial candles fighting to be lit, crows ripping the mourning from their thoughts for a brief moment, even infiltrating Wilbur’s dreams to call him a loser for dreaming of Minecraft. He’s reminding us of him every day and when we meet again he’ll be just as he was in life: a lovable prankster.
The second is a well known saying some say is overused. The saying that every person dies twice. Once when their mortal self goes, and once when their name is uttered for the very last time.
I can say with complete and utter confidence that Alex truly will never die, for he will never be forgotten. He has impacted the lives of thousands, and continues to even as I write this post. Several people including me have been influenced even in small ways by him. I say ‘bruuhhh’ and “HEH?!” like him just from videos.
So a salute o7 to our blood god. King of Anarchy. God amongst Men.
May he find many potatoes, many people to prank, and many Gods to fight in the great beyond.

Donkey Welfare and Advocacy
A peek over the Donkeys’ Rainbow… 🌈 Donkey Heaven
🐴☘️Dreaming of Fresh Fields☘️🐴
A heartfelt poem from the perspective of possibly, all donkeys in need, by English poet, Pam Ayres. I get watery eyes reading it.
I would like to think there is a place for me, with clean water to drink, and a shady tree. Where someone cared if I had enough to eat, and brushed my coat, and trimmed my feet.
I would like to be with other donkeys too, with boys and girls to hug me, and love me true. I would like to be with people who are kind, where when I die, someone will notice, Someone will mind.
Fresh Fields ‘Donkey Village’ existed and was given patronage by many talented stars of the screen and stage. Sadly it finally closed in 2017 due to the advancing years of the couple who operated it.
All 100 + rescued and retired donkeys were successfully rehomed to the Flicka Foundation in Cornwall for their dotage.
Some of the Basic Human (in simple terms) rights demand:
1. We Are All Born Free & Equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.
2. Don’t Discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences.
3. The Right to Life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.
4. No Slavery. Nobody has any right to make us a slave. We cannot make anyone our slave.
5. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us.
6. You Have Rights No Matter Where You Go. I am a person just like you!
7. Food and Shelter for All. We all have the right to a good life. Mothers and children, people who are old, unemployed or disabled, and all people have the right to be cared for.
Why should domesticated animals who we brought into our lives deserve less?
