The first review I’ve seen of The Way of the Wizard, on Not If You Were the Last Short Story on Earth, concludes, “There were some seriously outstanding stories in this collection,” and singles out six stories, including my “Family Tree.” (“Again, this is not a story that lauds magic and its users. Rather, it asks the rather pointed question: what happens when most in the family are magical? How do you deal with conflict, and jealousy, and the conflagrations that inevitably occur — especially when you’re living on top of each other?”)
