City of Legends

Just checked…the current armada of tracks available at the free CD download page at williamfdevault.com now comes to about 3 hours, with many more to come…sheesh.

I do want to thank the marvelously exotic Christina Banderas for providing the banner image for the redesigned download page.  It is nice to have people you can count on (you who are late on your assignments and permissions know who you are…)

Much, much more to do, but it is nice to wade in, and smite them, hip and thigh.  No, I am not speaking of the disturbingly attractive Ms. Banderas.  Although, that would not be a bad idea…(now, I am going to be in trouble with somebody for saying that out loud).

Okay, back to work.  Go listen to "glass roses" or "Love Gods (Multivox)" or the aural illusion of "The Gods of Love, Live at Kyrienar" or even "Love is an Howling Beast".

Okay, I’ve managed to lose this post twice already, let’s see if I am learning.

You may have noticed some major refurbishments going on here at the City of Legends, not the least of which is the decision to bring the City of Legends Blog front and center and merge it with the original City of Legends, which featured hundreds of my poetic works.

But where is the poetry now? Excellent question.

If you slip down the right side of this page you will encounter a section entitled Recommended links.

In this section, the first pick is for City of Legends (Original). If you follow this link you will encounter a menu page that allows you to view the hundreds of poetic works that have been historically available through the City of Legends website.

A little further down the same menu you will find the link to my internet radio station at Live365, where you can hear me performing and reading (along with a few special guests) hour upon hour of my works, free to you, and available around the world.

Finally, I have added the link for the free download of my massive volume The Compleat Panther Cycles, so that you can spend the 40 dollars or so that it would cost you at Amazon or your local bookseller on three or four of my other books.

Thanks to archive.org for providing the bandwidth for this download of the 640+ poems as a pdf identical to the printed volume. You can even download the cover featuring Goth model and recording artist Jillian Ann.

So, there it is. Enjoi! More news later!

I am now, without further huzzah or fanfare,

going to blow your mind.

I have just placed here for FREE DOWNLOAD, the entire contents and covers of
THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES in pdf format at archive.org.

If you buy the book in stores, Amazon.com, through the publisher or even through the City of Legends Bookstore, it will run you between twenty five and forty dollars, weigh in at over three pounds and make a hole in your bookshelf every time you pull it out to read again.

Here, it is free.

Happy National Poetry Month.

You owe me one, now.

Special thanks to Dan McTaggart, Barbara Holmes and Brigit for their forewords. To Mari Laureano for the stunning rear cover text. To Jillian Ann for being the woman whose beauty captured the essence of the mythology of the Panther that I spun from a real woman, filtered through my own longings.

It was one hell of a trip, writing, then revisiting to edit, assemble and annotate.
