Francis DiPietro: "Drink the Summer Sky"

A soft and reflective song that can sometimes change your mood, like a good dose of valerian root. Images evoke memories in a fine, kaleidoscopic mist. Thoughtful vocals and a simple tune allow the listener to paint additional pictures, and hopefully find something personal and meaningful within. Created by author Francis DiPietro (Mandrake, thatword.com).

"The Phoenix and the Scrolls"

Forged by a demon. Foretold by a wizard. Found by a king. This is a "psychological fantasy," with dark and brooding characters and a wry levity. Very much in the storytelling traditions of Robert E. Howard and Roger Zelazny. A sweeping, morose fantasy whose thoughtful elements are heightened by an eventual maudlin comedy. First true fantasy to fully incorporate a gay, "brokeback" wizard. From the demented mind of author Francis DiPietro.

Francis DiPietro: "A Baker Is a Friend"

I wrote this while contemplating the theory (and oftentimes the futility) of war. In a larger sense it speaks against the philosophy of conflict as a facilitating means, and I'm sure plenty of my idealistic sentiments get wrapped up in there as well. You can also stream the audio in higher quality broadband through download.com music. From my 2005 3-cd set entitled "Closer to Gone".
